Welcome to this list from our wonderful lakes. We'd love to have this be a dynamic list that keeps growing, so please send your observations to the HTLA Assoc. Board – htla.assoc@gmail.com. This is a small attempt to record some of the natural history of Hamlin and Townsend lakes and the surrounding property. A few notes: the reason that many dates are from April of 2008 is because that is when we moved here and I started keeping track; and so far all the submissions are from my sightings, but I hope that's about to change with your input. The list is alphabetical for easy reference, contrary to the format of most bird checklists. - Maria W.
