I did a bit of 'scouting' this morning for next Saturday's 8:30-10:30 am 
birding walk with George Clark, and anyone else who appears.  George and 
I will plan to meet participants in the parking lot along the right side 
of Wilder Dam Road, and walk down to the dam from there.  We'll likely 
then walk around the neighborhood, mostly searching for birds associated 
with feeders.

The adult Bald Eagle was perched below the Wilder Dam in a hardwood tree 
on the Vermont side, ~150 yards south of the dam.  There were 6 Common 
Mergansers on the river.  I then walked along Passumpsic Ave to its end 
by the pumping station.  Nothing of great note, but there are several 
active feeders.
