Subject: Bicknell's on Mt. Tom
From: dianajackh(AT)ifriendly.com
Date: 8 Jun 2008 3:13am
Starting up the Avalon Trail in Crawford Notch at 6 AM today, we came upon
at least 2 Bicknell's thrushes vocalizing about 2/3 the way up the Mt. Tom
Spur trail leading to the summit. This was about 9:30 AM and it was the
only place on the hike we heard and saw them. Swainson's thrushes were
heard both above and below this area. Tough to see in the spruce
thickets.

Al Richards reports that he had the adult Red-headed Woodpecker at 40
Buttonwood Road location in Bedford. His last New England state for him
to record this species!
He said that he had a 3 hour wait to get it, however, but got it at
about 3 PM.

Subject: Bicknell's Thrushes on Willey Range
From: "Millie" <mugicam(AT)comcast.net>
Date: 8 Jun 2008 4:42pm
I hiked Mt. Tom, Field, and Willey yesterday, Saturday June 7th. From Mt.
Tom at around 1:30 Bicknell I heard Bicknell calling in the distant. Hiking
back down the spur, I heard one singing. 45 minutes later as I approached
Mt. Field, one was heard signing from the west while another alighted on an
open branch for 3-4 seconds east of the trail before dashing farther into
the woods. I also heard one winter wren on this ridge.

Subject: Mourning Warbler in Penacook
From: "PAMELA HUNT" <biodiva(AT)verizon.net>
Date: 8 Jun 2008 9:30pm
Greetings all,
This morning's Penacook survey was a reminder that spring migration isn't
quite over, since a Mourning Warbler was singing in a brushy area behind the
"Vineyards" condo development off Bog Road this morning. I tallied 69 species
this morning, not bad considering the temperature started at 65 degrees and
ended at 78 (by 0900!). Otherwise I mostly found the usual suspects, although
a male bluebird along River Road was a surprise (I have not found bluebirds
nesting in the survey area...). Of additional note was a Corvus trifecta at
30 Pines: with American Crow, Fish Crow, and Common Raven all heard from the
same spot!
Stay cool,
Pam Hunt

Subject: Bank Swallow colony East Conway
From: AERART(AT)aol.com
Date: 8 Jun 2008 10:03pm
A colony of 50+ Bank Swallows is located
along the west bank of the Saco River, at the
bend in the river, just at the
New Hampshire/ Maine border on Route 113
in East Conway.
The birds were actively feeding over and flying
back and forth from the farm fields
on the south side of the road.
It was fascinating to watch the Bank Swallows playing
a feather game !
A Bank Swallow would carry
a large feather (nearly twice the swallow's length) to
a high point and release it.
The feather, with a heavy quill, would spin as it fell
straight down while over a dozen Bank Swallows would
swoop and peck at it.
When the feather dropped to the group,
another Bank Swallow would retrieve the feather from the ground,
take it aloft and drop it again for another round of
interaction !
The brown feather could have been a Canada Goose feather,
since there was a flock of 44 Canada Geese also in the field.

Sorry, disregard my last email about yellow headed blackbirds. After the
kids went to bed I checked again and it looks like they were bobolinks.
