Bird Notes
Beware the Bears!
Just to let folks in the Greenleaf St, Green Meadow & Country Hill area of West Brattleboro that we found our first (and hopefully our last J) bear-bashed feeder of the year today.
I had brought the feeders in last night to keep them dry, except for one. Mistake.

Our annual waterfowl survey starting at Herrick's Cove delivered! The highlight was a PINK-FOOTED GOOSE in the fields at Malnati's Farm in
Other highlights include:
Herrick's Cove: pintail, American wigeon, singing brown creeper, eastern phoebe.
Skitchewaug Mtn across from
Charlestown Great Meadows; rough-legged hawk giving great views kiting!
---JoAnne Russo,
Just a note to report our Tree Swallows arrived back this am. There are two pairs by the looks as they are already claiming two nest boxes.
Also there are Snow Geese on the field toward the river. There were 58 of them yesterday and probably the same today.
Had a Downy, a Hairy and Red-bellied on our suet feeder at the same time yesterday.
The Bluebirds have been around for some time.
Thanks for your reports. They are fun to follow.
