A bird walk of the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon originally  
scheduled for this coming Saturday morning (March 22) has been  
postponed to the next day in view of  precipitation now forecast for  
Saturday. Details for this rescheduled bird walk follow.

On Sunday March 23, 2014, from 8 to 11 AM, Mascoma Chapter of New  
Hampshire Audubon is to hold a bird walk, led by George Clark, to look  
for migratory waterbirds and other birds along the Connecticut River  
and nearby. Because the river remains ice covered for a considerable  
distance northward from Wilder Dam, we'll head southward on the VT  
side to visit open water sites where waterbirds have been seen in  
recent days. This bird walk is free and open to the public. We'll meet  
in the paved commuter parking lot by Route 5 in Wilder at 8 AM (Note  
change in starting location) and then carpool to sites in Hartford and  
north Hartland as time allows. Participants should bring binoculars  
and scopes if available, and dress warmly. A total of as much as 2  
miles of walking may be necessary, with as much as a quarter mile over  
fairly level terrain covered with unplowed snow/ice where foot  
traction devices or toothy snowshoes might be useful. Because of  
limited parking in some sites, we encourage carpooling. Please note  
the new location for meeting at 8 AM.

Road instructions to the meeting site: From Exit 12 off I-91 in  
Wilder, within the Town of Hartford, VT, turn east on Bugbee Street.  
Go east on Bugbee Street to Route 5, and turn right, going southward  
on Route 5. Then take the first right (just before a gas station on  
the right) and then an immediate right turn into the Wilder commuter  
parking lot where we'll meet at 8 AM.
