This is a reminder notice for a bird walk in Norwich on Saturday June
12.
Meet at 7:00 AM at the junction of Tigertown and Sue Spaulding Roads
(see road instructions below) for the sixth in the Norwich 2010
Birding Quest walks. This walk, led by Norwich resident George Clark,
is to be at a leisurely pace for a total of about two miles along
unpaved town roads while looking for summer resident birds in
woodlands and ponds. Hills in this area are not steep. Bring
binoculars if available. Insect repellant may be useful. Children are
welcome with an accompanying adult. This walk is free and open to both
Norwich residents and others. The trip is to be held in any weather
except thundershowers, but be aware that rain or wind can reduce the
chances of seeing many birds. We plan to return to the starting point
by 9:30 AM.
The goal of the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest
<http://www.vtecostudies.org/quest/>
is to find and identify as many species of birds as possible from
Norwich during calendar year 2010. Enjoy the challenge of the June 12
walk to find evidence for the nesting of a variety of species. See the
latest blog on the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest at

Road Instructions: Please carpool if possible. From Exit 13 off I-91,
turn toward Norwich village. Entering the village on Main Street, take
the second left by the Norwich Inn onto Beaver Meadow Road and
continue on Beaver Meadow Road for about 5 miles. Turn left (south)
onto Chapel Hill Road. Continue bearing to the left at each of two
consecutive intersections, and you will then be on Tigertown Road.
Continue south for slightly over a mile to the the meeting point at
the junction of Tigertown and Sue Spaulding Road, marked by the
presence of a conspicuous pond on the right side of Tigertown Road.
