I saw my first redpolls of the year while doing the Crawford Notch Christmas Bird Count on Saturday. One group of four redpolls and another of three eating yellow birch seeds on top of the snow. I was in the Dry River Old-Growth Forest in Crawford Notch State Park, in Harts Location. I don’t have a full report of what others saw, but I know one Towhee was seen and photographed, and Pine Grosbeaks were also reported.
Only 4-6 inches of snow at the lower elevations after Fridays rain and warm weather. It was 16 degrees when I started with a North wind 8-12 mph gusting to 15 mph. Aside from the wind, it was a gorgeous day to be outside hiking.
