We'll find lots of warblers, and we'll look for Black-backed Woodpecker, Boreal Chickadee, Gray Jay and other northern specialties. The evening song and flight display of the Bicknell's Thrush is one of the rare events of North American birdwatching. Vermont Bird Tours is proud to join a world expert on the Bicknell's Thrush at its breeding grounds on Mt. Mansfield. We'll drive the toll road up the mountain, meet with the researcher and learn about this rare species and its conservation. We'll witness the evening display - not to mention the sunset.
Nothing compares to the easy joy of watching wading birds along the ocean.
Mass. This full-day outing is a great introduction to sandpipers and plovers for a landlocked Vermonter. We'll also catch a good part of the songbird migration. Monhegan Island is among the nation's most stunning yet quaint places. This tiny vehicle-free island is a premier hotspot for fall migration. We'll see everything from falcons to warblers and probably something unexpected.
