| West Rutland Marsh |
Sunday morning we drove to West Rutland Marsh, about 40 miles west from Quechee, but more than an hours drive. Rt 4 is mostly 40 mph all the way across the state.

| Boardwalk |
Another well kept secret belonging to Rutland Audubon, I found it only after subscribing to an email alert from e-birds. We arrived later than we had planned, but still had a great day. Virginia Rail and Sora responded to calls quite readily and Virginia Rail actually came out onto the board walk, didn't stay long enough for a photo. Yellow-throat and Catbird put in appearances, with a Kingfisher flyby and Barn and Rough-wing swallow swarming overhead. Eastern Kingbird were abundant, counted 8 and might have missed some of them.
Best bird of the day was this immature Rose-breast Grosbeak, he actually posed for several minutes.
The marsh is located on Marble Road, the road cuts show where the name originated.
A carving studio with marble carver at work was just down the road and several projects in progress.
