Mount Washington Details
A drive to the 6,288-foot summit of New Hampshires tallest mountain is guaranteed to be a memorable trip for nature lovers and birdwatchers alike. Lurking in the forests are Black-backed Woodpeckers, Yellow-bellied Flycatchers, Swainsons Thrush, and Blackpool Warblers (just to name a few). However, one of New Englands rarest creatures the Bicknells Thrush also lives atop the treetops of this mountain. If you are passing by at dawn or dusk, you might be lucky enough to hear their flute-like song permeating through the forest.
