A Few Birds in the Upper New England States

In early October, we visited the six upper New England States to see the fall leaves (plus a couple of days in New York). I'm running behind in sharing this post but I decided to go ahead and post it before winter really sets in. I thought the leaves were gorgeous in certain places.



We were able to get some pictures of a few birds from the area to share.


In Stowe, Vermont, we saw a mallard drake on a pond at a hotel we stayed. This male duck has beautiful colors. 


His green head, gray flanks, and black tail-curl make him easy to identify. 




I thought this pic of the mallard drake and hen was interesting. Look close at the hen and you will notice she has a dark blue patch on her wing and a dull orange and black bill. 






Also in Stowe, we saw lots American Robins in a berry tree off the deck of our hotel room. 



The robins were having a feast on the berries.



One of the days of our trip, we rode the Cape Cod Central Railroad along the Cape Cod Canal in Massachusetts. Perched on a telephone pole along the canal was a Double-crested Cormorant.




I'll end with a collage of pics from the White Mountain National Park Lower Falls.



Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
