Rye Beaches

Took a trip up to Rye, New Hampshire yesterday to see my grandparents. I got the usual birds (Great Black-backed Gull, American Herring Gull, Common Pigeon, Common Starling, House Sparrow, etc.). On top of these birds, however, I got three species that were new for me in New Hampshire: Common Eider, Least Sandpiper, and Western Sandpiper!

  1. I didn't know your grandparents live in Rye, NH! We spent time there a few weeks ago, and whenever we visit Mr B's sister and her family in Newington, NH. I love the ice cream stops in Rye and along the water from there into Maine :-)

  2. They don't actually live in Rye, they live up in Chocorua. It was merely a meeting place so that we didn't have to drive the entire way up there. The food places there are pretty good though

  3. You have got such a fantastic blog going here Scott. It's great to have found someone of a similar age to me who is "bird obsessed". I will be keeping an eye on your blog for sure. Keep up the great work.
