Birding
Moosalamoo Bluebird Trail: Bluebirds are cavity-nesting birds, building nests in holes in trees or with human help in bird houses. The bluebird "trail" at Moosalamoo is a group of forty plus houses, usually located in pairs, one hundred feet apart, in open fields and pastures within the region. They are located near Robert Frost Wayside Area, Moosalamoo Campground, Voter Brook overlook, Blueberry Hill Inn, Judith's Garden, Hogback, Blueberry Management Area, and at Branbury State Park. These boxes are monitored and maintained by the association. You may spot a bluebird at any of these locations, sitting on a fence, power line, or dead tree. The boxes also attract chickadees, wrens, and swallows. For more information on Bluebirds check out http://www.nabluebirdsociety.org/
