66 Brookline - 1822 Round Schoolhouse

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

    I've been a life-long 'naturalist' -- interested in every aspect of the natural world.  I began birding in the early 1990s, and have been a serious birder for over two decades.
