Birding Trip along the Connecticut River -- Saturday April 17, 2010

Meet at  8:00 AM at Dan & Whits General Store for a carpooled morning  
birding trip led by Norwich resident Chris Rimmer. We'll check several  
sites between the Wilder Dam and mouth of the Ompompanoosuc River,  
mostly in search of water birds.  Walking will be moderate and mostly  
on fairly level ground, but with some rougher spots and mild inclines.  
Dress warmly and bring binoculars and spotting scopes if available.  
Children are welcome with an accompanying adult. This trip is free and  
open to both Norwich residents and others. The trip will be held  
regardless of weather conditions, but be aware that poor weather will  
reduce the chances of seeing many birds.  We'll plan to return by  
about 11:00 am.

The goal of the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest <http://www.vtecostudies.org/quest/ 
 > is to find and identify as many species of birds as possible from  
Norwich during calendar year 2010. See the latest Birding Quest blog at
http://vtecostudies.blogspot.com/2010/04/norwich-bird-quest-reaches-62-species.html

Join the fun and learn more about the Quest on this walk. A challenge  
on this walk will be to find as many water birds as possible along the  
river, with hopes of some early migrant songbirds, and always the  
possibility of an unexpected species.
