Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area

Addison, VT

Saturday, November 1

Did someone say snow geese? Last year’s visit to this major migratory stop on the Lake Champlain flyway produced a tally of over 4,000 of the birds. Watchers occasionally were treated to wonderful views of the flock spiraling upwards creating spectacular white, cloud-like formations. The party recorded 39 species that day including a golden eagle, a peregrine falcon and seven shore bird species.

This is an all day event and is to be led by Spencer Hardy. Car poolers will depart at 7:00 a.m. from the “Park ‘n Ride” lot at the Vermont side of the Ledyard Bridge in Norwich.

The trip is free and open to the public. The walking is level traveling over paved and dirt roads. Bring binoculars and/or spotting scopes as you prefer. Packing a lunch and water is recommended. In the event of adverse weather conditions the event will be cancelled.
