Just a reminder that the wiki http://nhbirds.wikispaces.com/ is open to editing
by everybody. The more people that edit it, the more complete it will be. The
seacoast is pretty well described (and there is a map!), but there's lots of
interesting birding areas out west (Hinsdale) and up north that could use
information from people that bird in those places.

Subject: NH Audubon Program on Osprey in Littleton Wednesday Night
From: "David Govatski" <pondicherry(AT)wildblue.net>
Date: 16 Nov 2009 8:29am
The Ammonoosuc Chapter of NH Audubon will be hosting an Osprey program by
Chris Martin in Littleton. The date is Wednesday 18 November at 7 PM at the
Littleton Senior Center. Chris Martin is the well known senior conservation
biologist specializing in raptors including osprey, bald eagles and
peregrine falcons. Chris will describe the results of two decades of osprey
conservation work that successfully brought this once endangered species off
the state list.
The Ammonoosuc Chapter meets at the Littleton Senior Center on Riverglen
Lane. On Cottage Street, turn between Scooter's Britches and the Littleton
Bike Shop and drive to the end of the road by the covered walking bridge.
For more information contact David Govatski at 586-7776.

I was going to say that places like Hinsdale are often reported from
here, but I haven't a clue of where "the setbacks" and other sites are.

I recommend tiny url to reduce the size of huge URL's before sending to the
list. They are extremely cumbersome to open in the sent format.

And I recommend quickmaps so everyone can make a map of their favorite
birding spots.
Anyone can make a map. It's free Just go to the URL and "make a quick map"
Drag the markers to your spot on the map. Give it a name and save it.
It will give you a link like the one below to copy and paste anywhere.

I might as well also make a plug for my book. Of course, just a
volunteer project for me to NH Audubon who published it. Several other
folks contributed photos and review. You can get it from the following page:
http://nhbirdrecords.org/birding/armchair-shopper.htm
One of my goals was to make it easier to find all the colloquial birding
hot spots along the Seacoast and Great Bay so I included an alphabetic
index of birding locations. It has directions and/or a map for all of
the locations shown below. This is a list of all of the "legally
accessible" birding hot spots in the area that I know about!

Subject: Western Kingbird - YES 8:30-10:15 am
From: Lauren Kras <lauren.kras(AT)gmail.com>
Date: 16 Nov 2009 6:37pm
Today the WESTERN KINGBIRD was present at the Rochester WWTP from 8:30 am to
10:15 am when the bird flew out of sight. It may have returned later in the
afternoon, I have not heard positive or negative reports.
The bird was perched along the fence most of the time it was visible.
Frequently it flew into the paper birch trees across the field but would
return to the fence regularly. From the fence it was fly-catching routinely
(successfully!). The bird moved from end to end of the fence but did seem
to favor spots about midway down the fence. For those interested in
photographs, Pickering Ponds provides good access to this fence without
disturbing the bird as you are below rather than above it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/bgriffith/sets/72157622693659911/
The treatment plant opens at 7:00 AM tomorrow, although Pickering Ponds may
still remain your best option as to not disturb the bird. If you choose to
go to the treatment plant PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK IN!!! Not everyone has
been doing this and it is important to do so in order to maintain our
welcome at the treatment plant.
I will check again for the bird before work tomorrow and post if I have it.
Thanks again to Pat Watts for this excellent find! This is only the 3rd
record of a bird staying more than a day since 1970!

Subject: Snow Bunting?
From: Mazzaglia1(AT)aol.com
Date: 16 Nov 2009 7:38pm
This morning I saw a bunch of these little ones in the rocks on the shore
at Odiorne Point. At first I thought it might be a sparrow but after
looking in a field guide I think this is a snow bunting, am I right?
