Join fellow birders on Saturday, June 2 at one of the Upper Valley's 
premier birding locations: the Windsor State Farms Corrections 
property.  Chris Rimmer, Ed Hack and Spencer Hardy will co-lead a 
Windsor County Quest outing to this property, which features Blue-winged 
and Golden-winged Warblers (and hybrids), Rufous-sided Towhees, Field 
Sparrows and other species characteristic of overgrowing field 
habitats.  Both cuckoo species are possible, with winnowing snipe and 
singing Bobolinks likely.

For anyone traveling from Norwich-Hanover, carpooling from Dan and 
Whit's general store is encouraged, leaving promptly at 6:45 am.  
Additional carpooling will take place from the Hartland park-and-ride at 
7:00 am.  For those wishing to meet at the corrections property itself, 
park in the pull-off by the small red outbuilding along Marton Road, 
just north of State Farm Road.  We'll meet there at 7:15 and likely bird 
this area for about 2 hours, then check the junction of Marton and Hunt 
Road.  For those interested in continuing, we may then visit the Simon 
Pearce floodplain, in search of Red-bellied Woodpecker, Blue-gray 
Gnatcatcher and Yellow-throated Vireo.

We will plan to be back in Norwich by 11:00 am.  This trip will entail 
moderate walking, so sturdy and/or waterproof shoes are recommended.  It 
is free and open to the public.  Birders of all ages are encouraged to 
participate.  If weather is hot and humid, participants should bring 
bring water or other drinks.
