Hey everyone, This evening I birded along Mink Brook for an hour and a half. It was generally pretty quiet, and I did not really see much different besides a couple House Wrens and a Field Sparrow. The Field Sparrow seemed a little out of place near the side of the trail, next to the forest, but that could just be me. I also heard one of the Merlins briefly calling. Other animals seen include: Beaver, Woodchuck, and Common Snapping Turtle. Below is the list of birds I had this evening. Cheers, Kyle Kittelberger Dartmouth ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mink Brook wetlands area, Hanover, Grafton, US-NH Apr 30, 2013 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM Protocol: Traveling 3.0 mile(s) 25 species Canada Goose 2 Wood Duck 4 Mallard 8 Mourning Dove 5 Belted Kingfisher 1 Pileated Woodpecker 1 Merlin 1 heard only Eastern Phoebe 1 Blue Jay 3 American Crow X Black-capped Chickadee X Tufted Titmouse 3 Red-breasted Nuthatch 1 Brown Creeper 2 House Wren 2 Winter Wren 1 heard only Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 Hermit Thrush 1 Black-and-white Warbler 1 heard only Pine Warbler 2 Field Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 3 Northern Cardinal 2 Red-winged Blackbird 5 American Goldfinch 2 View this checklist online at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S13945514 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org)
