Today, on the way up Mount Washington and then on a walk to Lake Helen Mackenzie, 10 birders found 29 species – but not the Three-toed Woodpecker. Highlights for some of the birders were hearing several higher elevation species – Sooty Grouse, Gray Jay, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Hermit Thrush and Fox Sparrow.
