To mention Vermont is to summon a host of scenes.
Some people think of white farmhouses and rich, green meadows.
For others, autumn's brilliant colors come to mind, and perhaps a covered bridge over a clear stream. In all seasons and corners of the state, Vermont is equally rich in scenes of wildlife. Visit a wetlands complex just before nightfall and you can witness the ponderous grace of a 1,000-pound bull moose browsing on the sedges. The common loon's haunting voice breaks the morning stillness on many Vermont lakes and ponds. You can see the colorful flash of a scarlet tanager, and, with a bit of luck, the shadow of a northern goshawk on the wing.
