Brilliant series of young hummer photos with boardwalk ones! Thank you Tom.

Vermont Fish & Wildlife approved the plan & came up with the majority of the funding. The older 'boardwalk' close to the Rte. 105 end has been removed and that area will get a chance to rehab. The new boardwalk is another couple hundred yards away from the original at the eastern end of the pond. Hopefully this will funnel visitors to this new location and keep folks off the wetter areas of the bog itself. A few snap shots of the progress at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpoll1/ Nice day to be visiting as I had 3 Black-backed woodpeckers, 3 Gray Jays, 1 Boreal Chickadee, 1 Yellow-bellied Flycatcher and found a very young juvenile Spruce Grouse followed by an adult female followed by an adult male who was displaying the entire time. First time I'd seem this and the juvenile was so young I wondered if this was a second brood?? Don't believe there were any other juveniles with these three. The male was actually hanging out with the juvenile while the female leaped several inches up to snag wild blueberries from branches. Tom Berriman
