Our Mountain Birdwatch citizen science project is starting a weekly MBW Route Spotlight, focusing on a different high-elevation survey route each week. This week's Route Spotlight is route 81, Resolution, in New Hampshire's White Mountains. A low-traffic hike through a col will allow you to gaze up at rocky cliffs as you climb. Open rock faces and views across the Presidential Range guide you to our survey route, a perfect haven for listening to birds and watching the sun rise. Observers detected Bicknell’s Thrush at two out of six points along this route in 2010 and at five out of six points in 2011; Winter Wren and White-throated Sparrow were also abundant both years. Sound tempting? Adopt this route in June and conduct a dawn survey of ten high-elevation bird species!
