Rutland County Audubon Society issued the following announcement.
17 happy people celebrated the 52nd Annual Earth Day with a walk around the West Rutland Marsh yesterday and spotted 45 species of birds, including 4 species of warbler, as well as Snipe, American Bittern, and Viginia Rail, all of which we were delighted to have return. We were also excited to find ourselves in the midst of a large Ruby- crowned Kinglet population. They were singing from all corners of the Marsh and many were actually easy to see! You can find our complete list on vtebird, Rutland County, RCAS.
