Spring Covid-19 Update
As of 2021-03-21
There are increasing numbers of reports about the movement of blackbird species - red-winged blackbird, common grackle and brown-headed cowbird - into the Upper Valley. A few American robin sightings are being posted too. The Connecticut River is beginning to open up, and that raises hopes migrating waterfowl on their way north will soon be making an appearance too.
Presently, the Mascoma Chapter Steering Committee is considering under what circumstances it could resume hosting birding event. As the number of people receiving two vaccination doses steadily increases, the prospect of being able to gather larger groups of people together looks more viable. Maybe it's the longer days, the warming sun and the imminent return of our summer songbirds, but we are hopeful a corner has been turned and bird watching together will soon be a possibility.
