Berlin Pond
May 16 and 17, 2009
An adult Laughing Gull, quite rare in Vermont, was among the highlights
during two trips to Berlin Pond on May 16 and 17. Other notable birds
included a pair of Common Loons (showing some courtship), a second-year
Bald Eagle, a Peregrine Falcon and nice looks at Virginia Rail and
Scarlet Tanager. Warblers were relatively scarce around the pond
(14 species), but Blackburnian Warblers ("flame-throats")
never fail to please. Here's our combined list from both days:
