Windsor County 2014 Birding Quest is holding a bird walk on Sunday  
August 10, 2014, to the North Springfield (VT) Reservoir area. 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 level but uneven terrain. Leaders include Chris Rimmer and George  
Clark. We'll be looking for summer resident species and any early fall  
migrants or wanderers.

For those who wish to carpool, we're to leave at 6:45 AM from the  
commuter parking lot located on the west side of River Road in Norwich  
(just north of Route 10A) by the Ledyard Bridge. For those who would  
like to join us en route, we plan to arrive about 7:35 AM in the  
parking area at Downer's Country Store on Route 106 on the  
southwestern corner of the intersection of Routes 131 and 106 In  
Weathersfield.

 From there, we'll continue south on Route 106 with our route  
thereafter to be determined by visibility. If conditions are clear,  
we'll be heading past the southern end of Stoughton Pond via Reservoir  
Road to the Springweather area. Alternatively, if low level fog is a  
concern, as has been the situation on some recent days, we plan to use  
the Maple Street entrance in Perkinsville to visit the west side of  
the North Springfield Reservoir.

We'll aim to return to Norwich around 11:00 AM.
