If you are visiting Vermont during spring or summer, then make sure to visit this marsh for one of the best birding opportunities in the state. Over a hundred different species have been documented here, with Mallards, Black-crowned Night Heron, and American Bitterns being some of the more common visitors. Although the marshlands are a flurry of breeding and nesting activity, the surrounding grasslands are also worth exploring. Flycatchers, Eastern Meadowlarks, and Savannah Sparrows are just some of the different species you will see inland.
