13 Jul George Burrows Brookside Sanctuary
Paula McFarland and I led a pleasant, small group at George Burrows
Brookside Sanctuary this morning. We had fantastic looks at two mink
and a deer. A Northern Waterthrush was be the pond at the head of the
yellow trail. A Cooper’s Hawk patrolled at treeline. A Belted
Kingfisher was perched preening. This 31 acre sanctuary is under birded
and explored.
