Vermont County 2012 Birding Quest will hold a bird walk in Wilder, VT,  
from 8:30 to 10:30 AM on Saturday February 4, 2012. Chris Rimmer and  
George Clark will lead. We'll seek both land and water birds over a  
fairly level road walking route of two or more miles, somewhat longer  
than last year's walk. Bring binoculars and scopes if available. Dress  
warmly. We'll be especially looking for some of the less common winter  
bird species.
In case of adverse weather or hazardous driving conditions on the 4th,  
this walk is to be held at the same time on the following day (Feb. 5).

Road instructions: From Exit 12 off I-91 in Wilder, turn east onto  
Bugbee Street and continue to the junction with Route 5. Turn left  
onto Route 5. Go north on Route 5, and take the fourth right turn onto  
Depot Street. Follow Depot Street past the Post Office on the left and  
shortly thereafter turn left onto Norwich Avenue. Almost immediately,  
turn right to pass over the new bridge leading to Passumpsic Avenue.  
Turn right onto Passumpsic and continue to the first opening through  
the guard rail on the right where a plowed parking lot will be the  
starting point at 8:30 AM.
