A Windsor County 2013 Birding Quest walk is to be held in the vicinity
of North Springfield (VT) Reservoir from 7:30 to 10:00 AM on Saturday
July 13, 2013. Leaders include Sara Eisenhauer, Spencer Hardy, and
George Clark. This walk is free and open to the public. Bring
binoculars and scopes if available and be prepared to walk up to 2
miles over fairly level, but uneven, terrain. This walk will be
canceled in case of continuous steady rain or thunderstorms.
We'll start in an area known for its Prairie Warblers and sometimes
other unusual species and then, if time allows, drive to another
location, east of Perkinsville, where we'll again look for both water
and land birds.
Route instructions: From Exit 7 off I-91, take Route 11 northwestward
through Springfield, where Route 11 joins with 106. Follow Route 106
into North Springfield and there turn right onto Maple Street and
continue northward towards the western end of the dike of North
Springfield Reservoir Dam. Where Maple Street passes onto the dike,
turn right into a paved parking lot where the walk is to begin at 7:30
AM. The Hartness Airport grounds can be seen nearby to the west of
that parking lot.
Participants carpooling from the Hanover/Norwich area are to meet at
6:30 AM in the Ledyard Bridge commuter parking lot (entrance off River
Road in Norwich). We'll aim to return to the Ledyard Bridge lot before
11:00 AM.
