Check out our blog update on the Norwich 2010 Birding Quest at http://vtecostudies.blogspot.com/2010/11/norwich-2010-quest-home-stretch.html.  We're at 164 species and counting, hoping to hit 175 before year's end.

There are serious thoughts of adding Hanover to the Quest for 2011, setting up a 'friendly' rivalry in hopes of getting even more people out birding in both towns next year.  Far from an actual competition, we simply want to encourage more birding, get people out exploring locally, and foster more camaraderie within the Upper Valley birding community. Details to come, thoughts welcome.

Chris
