Not to be competitive or anything, but I just barely beat Jeff to the Turkey Vulture;

saw one over I-91 in Bellows Falls yesterday, March. 6.

Two Nice Finds

A GLAUCOUS GULL and a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL were at Turners Falls, MA

---New Hampshire RBA

 

Always Breathtaking

A Bald Eagle flew by our house last week!!! 

---Mary Ann McLeod, Wilmington

 

A Brown Creeper was on the black birch behind my house. Also two female

Buffleheads were diving in the West River near the Marina - so small for a duck !

---Lerna, West Brattleboro 

 

 

Foxy in West B.

I just had a Fox Sparrow on my deck. (3/21) No question about identification. I had my binoculars ready and there he was.

This seems unusual.

---Eleanor Temple, Brattleboro

 

This afternoon (3/16) there was a Northern Pintail male plus two females at the landing at the end of Old Ferry Rd., Brattleboro. They are in the tiny pond to the left (facing the river) with a bunch of Mallards. You can drive right to them.

---Lani Wright, Brattleboro

 

A Turkey Vulture was seen soaring over the BMH parking lot on Monday the 21^st.
