Welcome to BirdForum.The State of Vermont (USA) has 251 towns and cities, and 4 unchartered gores. I've set myself the goal of birding in each and every one, and to submit an observation report to the Vermont eBird database (http://ebird.org/content/vt).
In this blog I'll recap where I've birded and the highlights (including occasional photos) of what I've seen.

66 Brookline - 1822 Round Schoolhouse
Posted Saturday 18th August 2012 at 02:19 by bheitzman
I'm thoroughly enjoying my quest to visit every town in the state. Many of these towns are very small in population, but some contain historical gems.
Brookfield is located in Windham County, in southeastern Vermont. It's a long, narrow town and has only one main road, which runs from Newfane in the south to Athens at the north. Roughly midway thru this town-with-no-side-roads is the town office which offers the only parking area, and opposite it is the unique Round Schoolhouse. There wasn't another place to park, and there certainly wasn't a more curious place to explore. The farm fields and streams were highlighted by a male Indigo Bunting, singing his song.
Checklist:
American Crow
Pileated Woodpecker
Alder Flycatcher
Eastern Kingbird
Common Yellowthroat
Hermit Thrush
American Robin
Bob-o-link
Cedar Waxwing
Gray Catbird
Song Sparrow
Indigo Bunting
American Goldfinch
