The next bird walk in the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest series is to meet  
on the lawn of Foley Park in Norwich in the early evening at 6 PM and  
continue to dusk on Monday August 23, 2010. Road instructions are  
below. This walk, led by Norwich residents Chris Rimmer and George  
Clark, is free and open to both Norwich residents and others. Children  
are welcome with an accompanying adult. Participants should wear  
comfortable shoes for walking over uneven terrain and should bring  
binoculars if available. We'll looking for any migrating nighthawks,  
as well as waterfowl, herons, kingfishers, and a variety of landbirds  
attracted to the Connecticut River and adjacent uplands. In case of  
thundershowers or steady rain, the rain date will be Tuesday 8/24.

Route instructions: From Exit 13 on I-91 in Norwich, turn toward the  
Leydard Bridge leading into Hanover, NH. Shortly before reaching the  
bridge, pull into the left turn lane, and turn left onto River Road in  
Norwich. Immediately after turning onto River Road, turn left to park  
in the unpaved commuter parking lot. From the entrance to that lot,  
walk across River Road (looking carefully both ways to avoid traffic  
when crossing) and follow the sidewalk underneath the Vermont end of  
the Ledyard Bridge over to the starting point on the lawn at Foley  
Park. If coming from Hanover, turn right onto River Road immediately  
after crossing the Ledyard Bridge and then take the immediate left  
into the parking lot, and from there continue on foot as described  
above.
