The first Windsor County bird walk in the 2011 Vermont County Birding
Quest is to be in Wilder from 8:30 to 10:30 AM on Saturday January 22,
2011. Chris Rimmer and George Clark are to lead. At the starting
point, open water from the Wilder Dam provides a possibility of
sighting ducks and perhaps an eagle. Other birds will then be sought
on a 1.5 mile road walk over fairly level terrain in the nearby
village section of Wilder. This walk is free and open to the public.
Children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Bring binoculars if
available and dress warmly. In case of steady rain or hazardous
driving conditions, the "rain date" for this event is to be Saturday
Jan. 29.
Road instructions: From Exit 12 off I-91 in Wilder, VT, turn east
towards Route 5. On reaching Route 5 (Hartford Avenue), turn left.
Continue to the fourth right turn onto Depot Street. Take the next
left (onto Norwich Avenue), and then an immediate right going over a
wooden bridge to Passumpsic Avenue. At Passumpsic Avenue turn right
and continue to the end of the road which is the starting point for
this walk. Parking for a limited number of vehicles is available at
the starting point, and two other parking lots are along the west side
of Passumpsic Ave.
