Tomorrow morning's weather promises to be fit for neither bird,
beast nor birder, so the 9-10:30 am walk scheduled at Wilder Dam
will be postponed until Sunday, same time and place. The weather
sounds much more favorable then. Details of this benefit for the
Haven are repeated below.
Here's a chance to simultaneously indulge your urge for early winter
birding and support one of the Upper Valley's most worthy
causes. As one of many activities to support "The 19 Days of
Norwich, 1% for the Haven", I'll meet anyone who is interested for
90 minutes of leisurely birding on Sunday morning. We'll convene at
9:00 am in the parking lot just above Wilder Dam, south of and
across from the playing fields. From there, we'll stroll down to
the dam, with a great chance to glimpse one or two of the year-round
resident Bald Eagles. We'll also, of course, look for waterfowl and
any other birds in the area. We'll walk from the dam up to Kilowatt
South park, and, if time allows, do some feeder watching along
Passumpsic Avenue, wrapping up by 10:30. We might cover 1/2 mile by
foot.
Birders of all stripes are welcome to join this outing. The only
prerequisite is a willingness to contribute to the Haven - we
suggest a donation of $10. Please make sure to dress warmly, with a
hat and gloves, and wear warm, waterproof boots. If you have a
spotting scope, please bring it. If you don't, no worries, we'll
share mine.
I'll hope to see some of you there.
Chris
