> About 20 participants joined this morning's bird walk arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon. A total of at least 52 species was found with three stops, all in Norwich, VT.
>
> We began at Foley Park by the Ledyard Bridge where among highlights were a kingfisher, 4 Hooded Mergansers flying by, a singing adult male American Redstart, a Scarlet Tanager, and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks.
>
> Then we visited the Pompy/Kendall Station Road area, where we found a putative family group of 4 Green Herons including a juvenile with natal downs still on its head and which perched for many minutes on a utility wire providing us with superb views. Another highlight was an adult Bald Eagle flying majestically upstream over the Connecticut River. In the same area, a Carolina Wren was singing loudly.
>
> After our scheduled ending time at 9 AM, several of us continued with a brief walk along Campbell Flats Road, where highlights included Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, a Common Raven, a calling Veery, a Savannah Sparrow, 2 Indigo Buntings, a number of Bobolinks, and a sizable flock of Red-winged Blackbirds.
>
> Additionally, this morning our group found Canada Geese, Wood Ducks, a Great Blue Heron, 4 woodpecker species including Yellow-shafted Flicker, 4 flycatcher species, 5 warbler species, Baltimore Oriole, and a Purple Finch. A great morning afield!
>
> Special thanks to coleaders and compilers Sara Eisenhauer and Ed Hack, who will be preparing eBird reports with a full listing.
