Hello- Yesterday morning (Sunday) the Mascoma Chapter of NH Audubon hosted a hike to Pillsbury State Park in search of spring migrants. The park is not yet open and the entrance is gated at route 31 so we followed roads and trails out to Bear Pond and Bacon Pond. We had some interesting sightings and saw/heard the following: Common Loon Great-blue Heron (sitting on nest at Bear Pond) Canada Geese Mallard Great-horned Owl (on an old heron nest at Bear Pond) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Pileated Woodpecker FLicker Eastern Phoebe Eastern Kingbird (at Bacon Pond) Blue-headed Vireo Blue Jay Crows Tree Swallows B-capped Chickadee White-breasted Nuthatch Tufted Titmouse Winter Wren Robin Bay-breated Warbler (apparently injured since it was walking on the ground next to the trail) Blackburnian Warbler Black and White Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Ovenbird American Redstart (female) White-throated Sparrow Chipping Sparrow Juncos Red-winged Blackbird American Goldfinch Visit our website for more trips (www.mascomabirds.com) Thanks, Dan Hopkins ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?
