Windsor County 2012 Birding Quest is holding a bird walk to be led by  
Chris Rimmer and George Clark in Windsor, VT, on Saturday November 10,  
2012. We'll start at Lake Runnemede at 8:00 AM and possibly later  
continue to another location in the town of Windsor. This walk is free  
and open to the public. Bring binoculars and scopes if available.  
Dress warmly. Participants should be prepared to walk as much as 2  
miles over uneven and possibly damp terrain. We'll be looking for  
migrating waterbirds as well as lingering migrant and winter landbirds.

Road and carpooling instructions: From Exit 9 off I-91, turn south on  
Route 5 towards Windsor. After going about 3 miles southward on Route  
5, look for the Back Forty guns and ammo store on the left, with a  
Price Chopper supermarket just beyond, also on the left. This walk  
will begin at 8:00 AM by the entrance to a long driveway directly  
across Route 5 from the Back Forty store. Please do not drive into  
that driveway, vehicular use of which is reserved for local residents.  
Parking is available along Route 5, but be sure your site is legal.

Carpoolers from towns around the Hanover/Norwich area are to leave  
from the River Road commuter parking lot in Norwich by the Ledyard  
Bridge at 7:30 AM that morning. We'll aim to return to Norwich by  
11:30 AM.

P.S. Around mid day today Ed Hack and I visited Lake Runnemede where  
the waterfowl included roughly 550 Canada Geese, about 20 American  
Black Ducks, a Lesser Scaup, a Black Scoter, Ring-necked Ducks, and  
Common Mergansers.
