"Moos-a-la-moo"... it just sounds right for a mountainous blueberry patch and moose habitat. The National Forest Service manages the Moosalamoo Wildlife Management Area for both moose and blueberries. They have a program of controlled burning areas on a rotating basis, to eliminate the woody brush yet at the same time fostering the growth of low-bush blueberries. And I mean low bush... the plants barely reach one foot in height! The principal blueberry management area is so popular with locals and visitors, that the Service maintains a wheelchair-accessible path into the blueberry area.
On the day I visited, there were no moose, and there were no blueberries. -- they were in full flower. The clouds were draped low over the Green Mountains, and it was a chilly 40 degrees. On a clear day, the view must be spectacular... as it was, the view was pretty nice that day.
Checklist for Goshen:
Ruffed Grouse
Red-eyed Vireo
Ovenbird
American Redstart
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
White-throated Sparrow
and one Unknown species (audio recorded)
