Bird Walk in Norwich -- Spring into spring with a bird walk on
Saturday March 27, 2010.
Meet at 8:00 AM in the parking lot by the south end of River Road in
Norwich (details below). Norwich resident George Clark will lead a
leisurely birding trip, the third in the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest
series. Be prepared to walk on mostly level, but possibly damp, ground
in the vicinity of Foley Park for about an hour. Dress warmly and
bring binoculars if available. Because the site is alongside the
Connecticut River, spotting scopes may be useful. Children are welcome
with an accompanying adult. This walk is free and open to both Norwich
residents and others. The walk will take place regardless of weather
conditions, but be aware that poor weather will reduce the chances of
seeing many birds.
The goal of the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest <http://www.vtecostudies.org/quest/
> is to find and identify as many kinds of birds as possible from
Norwich during calendar year 2010. Join the fun and learn more about
the Quest on this walk. A challenge on this walk will be to find early
spring migrants, some of which have already returned to Norwich.
Road Instructions: From Exit 13 off I-91 in Norwich, VT, turn as
though driving to Hanover, NH, but shortly before the Ledyard Bridge
(which crosses the river) move into the left turning lane for a left
turn onto River Road. Once on River Road, take the first possible left
turn into an unpaved parking lot, the starting point for this walk.
If coming from Hanover, cross the Ledyard Bridge into Norwich, take
the first right onto River Road, and then the immediate first left
into the parking lot.
