I saw two Bicknell's thrushes on the the Appalachian Trail last weekend

They must have had their nest there because we saw them at the same place on two occasions.

Way cool

I tried the Appalachian Trail for the thrush, but it is very rocky and slow going. I suggest walking the toll roads, and leave in the dark before they open for cars.

I saw my first Bicknell's Thrush this month on Mt Washington, NH (about four miles up the toll road).

I first heard, but never saw, them on Whiteface Mt, NY and then Mt Mansfield, VT (both on toll roads). They're tough to see.

I have hiked in the Green Mountains and White Mountains, but that was pre-birding...
