A good birding hour to start the day, guided by the unstumpable Chip Darmstadt of North Branch Nature Center. Migrants coming through with the cool front. Hits included:
blue-headed vireo
Red-eyed vireo
Chestnut-sided warbler
Blackpoll warbler
Black and white warbler
Tennessee warbler
Redstarts
Bay-breasted warbler
And lots of phoebes, downy woodpeckers,
Chickadees, song sparrows, and the ever-welcome goofy catbird.

The #NBNC bird banding team examines the primary feathers of a young song sparrow caught in the morning mist nets yesterday. Send them money! (at North Branch Nature Center)
The river trail. This place is my main taproot into #Vermont. Thanks #NBNC (at North Branch Nature Center)
