What a perfect day to start the year’s walks. Nine people came to the Papermill Trail in Lisbon. As soon as we stepped from the car, Carol Jack spotted a Bald Eagle. Then as we stepped onto the trail we have at least five species of warblers. The bird-of-the-day may have been the Rose-breasted Grosbeak. We did not find an Oriole. Here is the list of birds seen, or heard (H).
