SUMMARY:Pondicherry Migratory Bird Day: Outing Two
DESCRIPTION:The 22nd Annual Pondicherry Migratory Bird Day is Saturday\, May 11\, 2024. Two consecutive walks are free and open to the public. The first event\, which starts at 6 am and ends at 8 am\, meets at the overlook at Airport Marsh on Airport Road in Whitefield\, NH. Airport Marsh has a mix of water\, wetland\, shrub\, and grassland habitat. Over the past several years\, 183 species have been recorded at Airport Marsh\, although we will be happy with 40 species. \nThe second event starts at the Pondicherry Trailhead at 289 Airport Road in Whitefield\, NH\, at 8 am. We will walk the rail trail to Cherry Pond\, a distance of 1.5 miles. We will look and listen for various warblers and other species. From the Tudor Richard Observation Platform at Cherry Pond\, guides will lead walks to Little Cherry Pond\, searching for black-backed woodpeckers and migrating warblers. We will also visit Moorhen Marsh for wetland species\, including marsh wrens and swamp sparrows. We have several expert volunteer guides to help us find and identify species. \nWe generally finish around 2 pm\, although birders can stay longer or leave earlier. The total walking distance for the Cherry and Little Cherry Ponds walk is around 5 miles with an elevation change of only 20 feet. Bring binoculars\, lunch\, water\, and dress for the weather. We may encounter a few black flies. This particular date is often the birdiest weekend of the migration season. The event is free and is sponsored by the Ammonoosuc Chapter of NH Audubon\, Friends of Pondicherry\, and the Silvio Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. \nThe theme for World Migratory Bird Day 2024 is “Protect Insects\, Protect Birds.” Free educational posters featuring this theme will be available. \nThe Friends of Pondicherry website. \nIf you have any questions\, contact the organizer David Govatski at David.Govatski@gmail.com

SUMMARY:20th Annual Migratory Bird Day Walk at Pondicherry
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday May 17\, 2022 \nExplore Pondicherry Wildlife Sanctuary with Friends of Pondicherry! Join us for a Migratory Bird Day Walk at the Pondicherry National Wildlife Refuge. We will meet at the overlook at Airport Marsh on Airport Road in Whitefield at 7am to look for waterfowl and grassland birds. We expect to see Bobolinks\, Savanah Sparrows\, and several warbler species. At around 8am\, we will drive over to the Pondicherry Trailhead at 289 Airport Road and bird the 1.5 miles to Cherry Pond. At Cherry Pond\, we will take a side trip to Moorhen Marsh for Marsh Wrens. We will also bird the Little Cherry Pond Trail looking for Black-backed Woodpeckers and Cape May Warblers. On a good day at this time of year\, we can expect to see up to 20 species of warblers and 80 or more total species. We will finish the hike by mid-afternoon\, although you are welcome to stay as long as you like. \nThe walk is free\, and we will have free 2022 migratory bird day posters available. This year’s theme is Light Pollution and how it affects birds and other wildlife. The total walking distance will be 3-5 miles depending on the side trips you take from Cherry Pond. Most walking will be on a flat rail trail or the easy and flat Little Cherry Pond Trail. \nBring binoculars\, water\, lunch\, and clothing for the weather\, and be prepared for black flies.
