Thank you to those in the virtual world of birding who keep us up to  date 
on both the usual but also the more exotic avian visitors to  Vermont and 
thank you to those in the real world who welcome birders on to their  
properties to enjoy these memorable experiences.
While the weather today would suggest that birding would be an "iffy"  
undertaking, within the parameters of two hours and twenty miles this very  
appreciative observer was able to see both the Say's Phoebe and the  Dickcissel.
 
Cheers,
