An eagle watch is to be held on the Vermont side of the Wilder Dam  
from 10 AM to noon on Saturday February 9, 2013. We'll also be looking  
for any other kinds of birds which can be detected from that area.  
This eagle watch, arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire  
Audubon, is free and open to the public. Participants may come and go  
as they wish at any time. Leaders Blake Allison and George Clark plan  
to be there from 10:00 AM to noon. Bring binoculars and scopes if  
available. This excursion involves relatively little walking, and  
therefore participants may wish to dress especially warmly. In case of  
inclement weather or hazardous driving conditions on that Saturday,  
the eagle watch is to be postponed until the same hours on Sunday  
February 10.

Road instructions: From Exit 12 off I-91 in Wilder, VT, turn east  
toward Route 5. On reaching Route 5 (Hartford Avenue), turn left.  
Continue to the fourth right, turning onto Depot Street. Take the next  
left (onto Norwich Ave.), and then an immediate right going over the  
new bridge to Passumpsic Avenue. At Passumpsic Avenue turn right  
toward the Wilder Dam. Park in the first parking lot on the right and  
then walk downhill to the viewing area by the last (3rd) parking lot.  
(Alternatively, drive directly to the 3rd lot where you may park if it  
has been plowed out and if parking spaces remain. (Please note that  
the Gillette Street bridge in Wilder is currently closed for  
reconstruction.)
