This is a reminder that from 7:30 to 10:30 AM on Saturday August 24,  
2013, a Windsor County 2013 Birding Quest bird walk is to be held in  
Windsor, VT, starting at Lake Runnemede and possibly continuing to a  
second site in Windsor if time allows. Chris Rimmer, Spencer Hardy,  
and George Clark are to lead. With fall migration underway, we'll be  
especially seeking migrant birds of all kinds. This walk is free and  
open to the public. Bring binoculars and scopes if available.  
Participants should be prepared to walk as much as a mile over fairly  
level but uneven terrain. In case of continuous heavy rain or  
thundershowers, the walk is to be postponed until the following morning.

Road and carpooling instructions: From Exit 9 off I-91, turn south on  
Route 5 towards Windsor. After going about 3 miles southward on Route  
5, look for the Back Forty guns and ammo store on the left, with a  
Price Chopper supermarket just beyond, also on the left. This walk  
will begin at 7:30 AM by the entrance to a long driveway directly  
across Route 5 from the Back Forty store. Please do not drive into  
that driveway, vehicular use of which is reserved for local residents.  
Parking is available along Route 5, but be sure your site is legal.

Carpoolers from towns around the Hanover/Norwich area are to leave  
from the River Road commuter parking lot in Norwich by the Ledyard  
Bridge at 7:00 AM that morning.
