The Mascoma Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon Society and the Vermont County Birding Quest are to hold a bird walk from 8 to 11 AM on Saturday April 2, 2011. George Clark is to lead, starting by looking for birds in the area of Ledyard Bridge. Participants will then carpool to other nearby birding locations to be determined on the basis of reports closer to that date. We'll be especially looking for waterfowl and other early spring migrants. This walk is free and open to the public. Children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Bring binoculars and scopes if available and dress warmly. Participants should be prepared to walk as much as a mile over fairly level ground. This walk will not be held in case of steady rain or hazardous driving conditions. Road instructions: From Exit 13 off I-91, turn towards Hanover, NH. On approaching the Ledyard Bridge across the Connecticut River, pull into the turn lane to go left at the stop light onto River Road in Norwich. Once on River Road, take the immediate first left turn into the commuter parking lot which at 8:00 AM is to be the starting point for this bird walk. If coming from Hanover, NH, cross the Ledyard Bridge into Norwich and take the first right onto River Road. Then take an immediate left turn into the commuter parking lot. **************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
