Dear Bruce----To find the setbacks in Hinsdale. Take 119 thru Hinsdale &
past the School(s) on the R. Go down a twisty hill . You will start to see
water on the L. Keep going on 119 until you leave the water behind. Look for
a turn in on the L. Pull in there & park (parking lot is rough, watch it).
Directly across from the entrance you will see a road that goes out a
causeway to a set of hi-tension towers. Walk out this road & bird both sides
& all around. Watch for ticks in warm weather.
The view of the waterfowl area at Vermont Yankee is near here. Contact me
(offline) & we can discuss.

The original message (the one the oops message referred to) didn't seem to
go through after over an hour - trying again. Maybe the listserv program
is getting hung up on the name of the bird?
Anyway, my apologies if you receive this twice!

That "late" Field Sparrow in my backyard is even later. I assume it is
the same bird. I saw it along the edge of my driveway yesterday (11/16).
At least one Tree Sparrow is now also calling in the area . . . not sure
I have had Field and Tree at the same time.

Subject: Golden Pheasant in Windham
From: fernw(AT)comcast.net
Date: 17 Nov 2009 5:33pm
This afternoon my boss had a very colorful pheasant-like bird in his yard just
off Rte 111 in Windham.
He watched it in the grassy area of his yard for about 20 minutes and then it
moved off into the woods.
We spent almost half an hour stalking it with binoculars and camera to try and
get close enough for a good photo.
It did not appear afraid, most of the time moving slowly and foraging. Once it
ran very quickly through the woods
to a different spot,B then stopped and started foraging again.B It finally
flew about 50 yards downstream and into the
woods where we lost sight of it. It was dusk by then.
What an absolutely beautiful bird! We had no idea what it was but figured it
had to be an exotic escapee. My husband remembered seeing a Lady Amherst
Pheasant in Windham a few years ago so we looked that up on the web and from
there found our mystery bird.
It wasB a Golden Pheasant... apparently a very common bird for people to own
and raise.B Exciting to see one "in the wild" so to speak.B
Here are three photos I managed to get among lots of leaves and woods:

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?
