Norton, VT
Not much for species but they are still some of my favorites and most were
well-represented. Pishing brings the chickadees, kinglets, and red-breasted
nuthatches down out of the treetops in a rush. A pair of red-breasts came
down to eyeball me from just a few inches away and one didn't even take
time to swallow the tidbit in its bill.
Species:
ruffed grouse....6
black duck....2
Canada (I'm old school) jay....1
blue jay
hairy woodpecker
pine siskin
raven
crow
golden-crowned kinglet
black-capped chickadee
red-breasted nuthatch
The kinglets, chickadees, and nuthatches were often seen in mixed flocks of
5 - 10 birds. Looks like a below average cone year but maple seeds, birch,
and beechnuts are plentiful and the beechnuts are full and sweet.
