May 17 , 2007

If you need proof that low-pressure systems knock birds out of migration and into view, just go outside. The wet, wild weather of the past two days has produced nice fallouts across Vermont. Here in Central Vermont, 22 Black Terns joined a swallow flock feeding at a small farm pond in Marshfield on May 16. And today at Berlin Pond, birds were abundant (including two Black Terns among about 1200 swallows out on the pond). Here's the list:
