The next bird walk in the 2013 Windsor County Birding Quest series is  
to be held in Wilder, VT, from 8:00 to 10:30 AM on Saturday February  
23, 2013. George Clark is to lead on a 2 mile road walk over fairly  
level terrain in the village section of Wilder to be followed by  
looking for mergansers and eagles downstream from the Wilder Dam.  
We'll be interested to see whether any early spring migrants can be  
found. This walk is free and open to the public. Bring binoculars and  
scopes if available and dress warmly. This walk will not be held in  
case of steady rain or hazardous driving conditions.

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 the  
new bridge to Passumpsic Avenue. There turn right toward the Wilder  
Dam and continue to the 8 AM meeting site in the first parking lot on  
the right.
