Vermont County 2013 Birding Quest is to hold a bird walk at Lake
Runnemede in Windsor , VT, starting at 8:00 AM on Saturday October 19,
2013, with Sara Eisenhauer, Kyle Kittleberger, Chris Rimmer, and
George Clark as leaders. This bird walk is free and open to the
public. Bring binoculars and scopes if available, and be prepared to
walk as much as 2 miles over uneven and damp terrain. We'll be looking
for both water and land birds with special emphasis on fall migrants.
If time allows, we might also visit a second locality in Windsor.
Road 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 8
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 commuter parking lot off River Road in Norwich by the Ledyard
Bridge at 7:30 AM. (To reach the Ledyard Bridge lot from Exit 13 off
I-91 in Norwich, turn toward Hanover. On approaching the Ledyard
Bridge pull into the left lane, turn left at the traffic light onto
River Road, and then take an immediate left into the unpaved commuter
parking lot.). We'll aim to return to Norwich by 11:30 AM.
