Given the certainty of rain on Saturday, the Windsor County June Quest 
outing has been moved to Sunday, June 3.  Modified details are below.

Join fellow birders on Sunday, June 3 at one of the Upper Valley's 
premier birding locations: the Windsor State Farms Corrections 
property.  Chris Rimmer and Ed Hack will co-lead a Windsor County Quest 
outing to this property, which features Blue-winged and Golden-winged 
Warblers (and hybrids), Rufous-sided Towhees, Field Sparrows and other 
species characteristic of overgrowing field habitats.  Both cuckoo 
species are possible, with winnowing snipe and singing Bobolinks likely.

For anyone traveling from Norwich-Hanover, carpooling from the parking 
lot behind Ledyard Bank (across from Dan and Whit's general store) is 
encouraged, leaving promptly at 6:45 am.  Additional carpooling will 
take place from the Hartland park-and-ride at 7:00 am.  For those 
wishing to meet at the corrections property itself, park in the pull-off 
by the small red outbuilding along Marton Road, just north of State Farm 
Road.  We'll meet there at 7:15 and likely bird this area for about 2 
hours, then check the junction of Marton and Hunt Road.  For those 
interested in continuing, we may then visit the Simon Pearce floodplain, 
in search of Red-bellied Woodpecker, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and 
Yellow-throated Vireo.

We will plan to be back in Norwich by 11:00 am.  This trip will entail 
moderate walking, so sturdy and/or waterproof shoes are recommended.  It 
is free and open to the public.  Birders of all ages are encouraged to 
participate.  If weather is hot and humid, participants should bring 
bring water or other drinks.
