They have been drawing tourists since the mid-1800s when most visitors made the trip from cities by train or horse-drawn carriages. At that time, families came to the Whites to spend a month or more enjoying the fresh air, wonderful hiking and lofty vistas. This trip is designed to give you an overview of what is available and introduce you to the diversity of the Whites.

  • Mountain Birdwatch 2006
    Mountain Birdwatch 2006 © Jeff Nadler FINAL REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE June 14, 2007 Julie A. Hart and J. Daniel Lambert VINS Technical Report 07-3 Vermont Institute of Natural Science 6565 Woodstock Road, Quechee, VT 05059 ABSTRACT Mountain Birdwatch is a long-term monitoring program for songbirds that breed in high-elevation forests of the northeastern U.S. Since 2001, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) has prepared skilled volunteers to conduct annual surveys along 1- km point count routes located in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Primary emphasis is placed on Bicknell’s Thrush, a montane fir specialist that breeds only in the Northeast and adjacent portions of Canada. Other focal species include Blackpoll Warbler, Swainson’s Thrush, White-throated Sparrow, and Winter Wren. In 2006, Mountain Birdwatchers gathered observations from 155 locations, with point count surveys completed on 119 routes. Bicknell’s Thrush occurred at a frequency similar to 2005. It was detected by point count on 63% of the routes and by any means on 90% of the routes. However, the abundance index for this species fell from a 2005 high of 0.3 individuals per point to the 2001-2004 average of 0.25 individuals per point. Counts of Swainson’s Thrush and Winter Wren reached record highs in 2006, continuing an increasing trend that began in 2003. Blackpoll Warbler exhibited similar gains during this period, following a sharp drop in 2002. White-throated Sparrow numbers remained low for the fourth consecutive year, compared to high counts made in 2001 and 2002.
