An inland location with no big lake, Epping may not be on your radar for birding. But this little town has a variety of habitats spread among small conservation properties as well as larger tracts protected by the Southeast Land Trust (SELT) and the Society for the Protection of NH Forests (SPNHF). With farms and meadows, a beaver bog, a pine-oak-hemlock forest, as well as a floodplain forest and black gum basin swamp that extends to the Lamprey River, the variety of bird life recorded here is nearly 170 species and yours to find – and add to! Get directions to all the best spots in this article from the Spring 2018 issue of New Hampshire Bird Records: https://nhbirdrecords.org/nhbr-pdfs/V37%20N1%20Spring%202018%20web.pdf. (“Where to Bird in Epping” begins on page 34).
