Extensive conifer and hardwood forests, bogs, waterfalls and spectacular views provide the backdrop. The summit of Mount Washington, at 6288 feet, is the tallest mountain in the northeastern U.S., and it supports a limited alpine zone frequented by nesting American Pipits. We'll sample all elevations during our stay, with a special emphasis on Bicknell's Thrush and other boreal breeders found in this region. Night in North Conway. After a final morning in the White Mountains we'll drive north to the Connecticut Lakes region of extreme northern New Hampshire.
Crossbills are possible.
Moose are fairly common. Nights in Pittsburg. Night in Machias. The town of Machias will provide our base for exploring easternmost Maine. On the first day we'll drive to Cutler, birding the productive woodlands on the way and witnessing spectacular tidal changes.
