Where to Bird in Concord, NH

[birdrecords]

Hi Everyone,

 

I’m pleased to share one of the latest Joy of Birding articles. In this new “Where to Bird” feature, NH Audubon biologist Pam Hunt highlights some of the best birding spots in Concord, NH. There are so many places to explore that we split the guide into two parts!

 

Part One explores the southern side of the city, including the floodplains, pine barrens, and Concord’s central waterbird hotspot at Horseshoe Pond. From grassland sparrows and nighthawks near the airport to migrating ducks and gulls downtown, these accessible sites offer excellent birding throughout the year.

 

Part Two heads north of downtown to rich habitats along West Locke Road, Turtle Pond, the SPNHF floodplain, Sewall’s Falls, and Morono Park.

 

The Joy of Birding (joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org) is the new free, online home of New Hampshire Bird Records. You can sign up for monthly email updates on the website homepage or check back anytime for new articles. There’s always something to see.

 

If you’d like to get in touch or are interested in writing a future “Where to Bird” article, please email birdr...@nhaudubon.org or contact the editor, Grace McCulloch, at gmccu...@nhaudubon.org.

 

Happy birding!
