Under mostly sunny skies, with the temperature ranging through the 60s, a half dozen members of NH Audubon's Mascoma Chapter enjoyed what might have been the finest weather morning of the spring season as they made a final "Warbler Wednesday" trip up to Lebanon's Boston Lot Lake. Fifty species were tallied over a two hour and fifteen minute time span.
Highlights included a mother wood duck with her recently hatched brood of twelve ducklings. Also of note were three vireo species (blue-headed, warbling and red-eyed), four members of the flycatcher genus (least, great-crested, eastern phoebe and eastern kingbird) all topped off by twelve different warbler species as well as two scarlet tanagers, two rose-breasted grosbeaks and an indigo bunting.
Thanks to chapter members Jody Schubert, Susan Tiholiz and Mary Waugh for hosting the trip and keeping the eBird checklist counts, a copy of which can be viewed by clicking on this link: , https://ebird.org/checklist/S244324856
