The next bird walk in the Vermont County Birding Quest series for 2011  
is to be held from 7:00 to 9:30 AM on Saturday May 21, 2011, at Lake  
Runnemede/Paradise Park in Windsor, VT (road and carpooling  
instructions below.) Chris Rimmer and George Clark are to lead. This  
walk is free and open to the public. Children accompanied by an adult  
are welcome. Participants should be prepared to walk as much as two  
miles over uneven terrain. Bring binoculars if available. This walk  
will be canceled in case of a heavy, steady, rain or thundershowers.  
The Lake Runnemede/Paradise Park area is among the premier birding  
sites in the Upper Valley. Depending on timing, birds present, and  
interest of participants, this walk may continue into later in the  
morning at a second, yet to be determined, site in Windsor.

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 a 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 Guns and Ammo 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 Shopper lot, quite near the starting point, has been a favorite  
for birders who do some shopping 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.
