From 7:00 to 10:00 AM on Saturday August 17, 2013, a bird walk  
arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon and led by  
George Clark is be held along the western side of the Connecticut  
River from the Ledyard Bridge northward to the Ompompanoosuc River and  
vicinity. We'll be especially looking for migrating birds. This bird  
walk is free and open to the public. Bring binoculars and spotting  
scopes if available. Participants should be prepared to walk as much  
as a mile over fairly level but uneven and possibly damp terrain. In  
case of thundershowers or heavy rain, this walk will be canceled.

Participants are to meet at 7:00 AM in the commuter parking lot in  
Norwich, VT, at the western end of the Ledyard Bridge. To reach that  
parking lot from Hanover, NH, go west across the Ledyard Bridge, and  
immediately turn right onto River Road in Norwich. Then take the  
immediate first left into the parking lot. After looking for birds  
around Ledyard Bridge, we plan to carpool northward with stops at  
locations favorable for finding birds.
