This is a reminder that from 10 AM to Noon on Saturday February 17, 2018, Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon is to hold its annual eagle watch at Wilder Dam (this year postponed from Feb. 10). We'll be looking for Bald Eagles and other birds in the vicinity. This event is free and open to the public.  Bring binoculars and spotting scopes if available. Feel free to come and go at any time during the watch. Dress warmly as temperatures and wind chills are likely to be in the 20s; no precipitation is forecast.

Road Instructions: From Exit 12 off I-91 in Wilder, VT, turn east toward Route 5. On reaching Route 5 (Hartford Avenue), turn left. Continue (northward) to the fourth right, turning onto Depot Street. Take the next left (onto Norwich Avenue) and then an immediate right turn to go over the bridge to Passumpsic Avenue. At Psssumpsic Avenue turn right toward Wilder Dam. Park in the first parking lot on the right (entrance at a break in the guard rail) and then walk downhill to the viewing area overlooking the outflow from the dam. Because of accumulated snow piles from plowing, there'll be no space for parking in last lot at the bottom of the hill.
