Spring into spring with a bird walk in Norwich on Saturday March 27,  
2010!  (Repeat announcement on UVB)

Meet at 8:00 AM in the parking lot by the south end of River Road in  
Norwich (details below). George Clark will lead a leisurely birding  
trip, the third in the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest series. Be prepared  
to walk on mostly level, but possibly damp, ground in the vicinity of  
Foley Park for about an hour. Dress warmly and bring binoculars if  
available. Because the site is alongside the Connecticut River,  
spotting scopes may be useful. Children are welcome with an  
accompanying adult. This walk is free and open to both Norwich  
residents and others. The walk will take place regardless of weather  
conditions, but be aware that poor weather would likely reduce the  
chances of seeing many birds.

The goal of the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest <http://www.vtecostudies.org/quest/ 
 > is to find and identify as many kinds of birds as possible from  
Norwich during calendar year 2010. Join the fun and learn more about  
the Quest on this walk. A challenge on this walk will be to find early  
spring migrants, some of which, including a variety of waterbirds,  
have already returned to Norwich.

Road Instructions: From Exit 13 off I-91 in Norwich, VT, turn as  
though driving to Hanover, NH, but shortly before the Ledyard Bridge  
(which crosses the river) move into the left turning lane for a left  
turn onto River Road. Once on River Road, take the first possible left  
turn into an unpaved parking lot, the starting point for this walk.

If coming from Hanover, cross the Ledyard Bridge into Norwich, take  
the first right onto River Road, and then the immediate first left  
into the parking lot.
