This is reminder notice for next Saturday's (July 30) bird walk  
arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire.

This walk, from 7:00 to 9:00 AM on Saturday July 30, 2011, is to be  
along River Road in Lyme, NH, and will cover as much as two miles on  
foot. We'll be looking for breeding birds and their young and possible  
early fall migrants in a scenic area along the Connecticut River.  
George Clark is to lead this walk which is free and open to the  
public. Children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Bring binoculars  
and scopes if available. In the case of heavy, steady rain or  
thundershowers, this walk will be canceled.

Road instructions:

To reach the starting point for this walk from Hanover, NH, take Route  
10 north to the village of Lyme and there turn left onto East Thetford  
Road. Continue west until just before the bridge that crosses the  
Connecticut River. There, turn right onto River Road, continuing  
northward over a paved section of road onto an unpaved section.  
Eventually, farther north, the road is again paved, and that location,  
where the road changes from unpaved to paved, is the 7 AM starting  
point for this walk. Park vehicles along the river (west) side of the  
unpaved road in the wooded section just to the south of the pavement.

If coming from VT Exit 14 off I-91 in Thetford, turn east on Route 113  
and continue through the village of East Thetford and across the  
bridge over the Connecticut River. Then take an immediate left turn  
northward onto River Road and continue as described above.

[Please note that River Road in Lyme is presently not a through road  
for motor vehicles due to erosion by the river this spring. The  
section of River Road now closed to motor vehicles is south of its  
intersection with North Thetford Road.]

[River Road in the town of Hanover has also been closed this summer  
for bridge repairs, so Route 10 is a recommended route for those  
coming from Hanover to Lyme.]
