> About a dozen participants today enjoyed a fine and song-full  
> morning for birding at the northern end of the Union Village Dam  
> area in Thetford, VT. Among 50 bird species detected, there were  
> numerous highlights, some of which are here briefly mentioned as  
> follows.
>
> An American Bittern provided an exceptionally good view as it  
> partook of an unidentified item of prey. Two Solitary Sandpipers  
> were nearby. 2 Wood Ducks, a Mallard, 2 Common Mergansers, and 6  
> Canada Geese constituted this morning's waterfowl. Ruffed Grouse  
> were drumming in 3 locations. A Least Flycatcher was present along  
> with the Eastern Phoebes. Song by a couple of Red-eyed Vireos  
> contrasted nicely with that of a Blue-headed Vireo. House, Winter,  
> and Carolina Wrens were present and singing. 2 Blue-gray  
> Gnatcatchers and several Gray Catbirds were among the insectivores.  
> Ten species of warblers, including parulas and Blackburnians,  
> provided a good opportunity to compare songs. Several White-crowned  
> Sparrows were seen, and excellent views were obtained of White- 
> crowns alongside the bright white-crowned-stripe form of the White- 
> throated Sparrow. A Scarlet Tanager was singing, and our group  
> obtained excellent views of a Baltimore Oriole.
>
> Today's walk was one of Feathered Friday series, held throughout the
