This a reminder that the first Windsor County bird walk in the 2011  
Vermont County Birding Quest is to be held in Wilder from 8:30 to  
10:30 AM on Saturday January 22, 2011. Chris Rimmer and I 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 very warmly because temperatures are  
likely to be low.

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.
