The first Windsor County bird walk in the 2011 Vermont County Birding  
Quest is to be in Wilder from 8:30 to 10:30 AM on Saturday January 22,  
2011. Chris Rimmer and George Clark are to lead. At the starting  
point, open water from the Wilder Dam provides a possibility of  
sighting ducks and perhaps an eagle. Other birds will then be sought  
on a 1.5 mile road walk over fairly level terrain in the nearby  
village section of Wilder. This walk is free and open to the public.  
Children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Bring binoculars if  
available and dress warmly. In case of steady rain or hazardous  
driving conditions, the "rain date" for this event is to be Saturday  
Jan. 29.

Road instructions: From Exit 12 off I-91 in Wilder, VT, turn east  
towards Route 5. On reaching Route 5 (Hartford Avenue), turn left.  
Continue to the fourth right turn onto Depot Street. Take the next  
left (onto Norwich Avenue), and then an immediate right going over a  
wooden bridge to Passumpsic Avenue. At Passumpsic Avenue turn right  
and continue to the end of the road which is the starting point for  
this walk. Parking for a limited number of vehicles is available at  
the starting point, and two other parking lots are along the west side  
of Passumpsic Ave.
