Bird walk in Norwich, VT -- Saturday June 12, 2010
Meet at 7:00 AM at the junction of Tigertown and Sue Spaulding Roads
in west Norwich (see road instructions below) for the sixth in the
series of 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. The 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
