The next bird walk in the 2014 Windsor County Birding Quest series is to be held in Wilder, VT, from 8:00 to 10:30 AM on Saturday February 22, 2014. This is to be a 2 mile road walk over fairly level terrain in the village section of Wilder to be followed by looking for birds downstream from the Wilder Dam. We'll be looking for wintering birds and to see whether we can detect signs of spring among the birds encountered. This walk, to be led by George Clark, is free and open to the public. Bring binoculars if available, dress warmly, and wear foot gear suitable for damp conditions. This walk will not be held in case of steady precipitation 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 turn over the bridge to Passumpsic Avenue. There turn right, going toward the Wilder Dam, and continue to the 8 AM meeting site in the first parking lot on the right.
