Our Bicknell's Thrush Tours have concluded for 2010. Please visit us next year:
June 1, June 4, June 7, June 11, June 12 and June 15

The Mt. Washington Auto Road will again be offering Bicknell's Thrush Guided Tours in 2010. Bicknell’s Thrush is an extremely rare species with very limited breeding grounds. It is the rarest and most secretive of the breeding thrushes in North America and it is the only bird whose breeding is restricted to the Northeastern part of the continent. They usually breed at higher elevations, normally nesting above 3,000 ft. The unique yet harsh climate is just what the birds prefer due to the combination of low vegetation and abundant moisture, and the Mt. Washington Auto Road offers you a unique opportunity to view these rare birds.

Our Bicknell's Thrush Guided Tours leave early in the morning before the Mt. Washington Auto Road opens to the general public to cause as little disturbance as possible.

Cost: $50 per person
Advanced reservations required.

Tours depart from the base of the Mt. Washington Auto Road at 5:30am. (Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure.) Tours last approximately 2 hours.

To book your Bicknell's Thrush Guided Tour, please contact Mary Power at 603.466.3988 or email.
