Seacoast Chapter NHA Strafford County Complex bird walk 5/15 68 species

[Dan Hubbard]

Fourteen birders (one of which is approaching her 1st birthday/youngest birder award) and I traipsed around the grounds of the Strafford County Complex conserved property Sunday am. Thank you Holly Bauer for compiling the trip list. 63 species were found plus 5 species that a few birders who stayed after added to the list. The high point was both waterthrushes singing in the same area providing a good comparison. Dan Hubbard, Rochester
