The next bird walk in the Vermont County Bird Quest series for Windsor  
County is to be held from 7:00 to 9:30 AM on Saturday July 16, 2011,  
and will seek breeding birds and their young around Lake Runnemede in  
Windsor, VT. Road and carpooling instructions are below. George Clark  
and Chris Rimmer will lead. This bird walk is free and open to the  
public. Participants should be prepared to walk up to two miles over  
uneven and possibly damp terrain. Children accompanied by an adult are  
welcome. Bring binoculars if available. In the case of steady heavy  
rain or thundershowers, the walk will be canceled.

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 7:00 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 in places along Route 5, but be sure your site is  
legal. The Price Chopper lot, near the starting point, has been a  
favorite for birders who shop there when birding in the vicinity of  
the lake.

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 6:30 AM that morning.
