Vermont County Birding Quest for 2011 is to hold a bird walk from 8:00 to 10:30 AM on Sunday October 30, 2011, at Lake Runnemede/Paradise Park in Windsor, VT (road and carpooling instructions below). Chris Rimmer and George Clark are to lead. This walk is free and open to the public. Children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Participants should be prepared to walk as much as two miles over uneven terrain. Bring binoculars and scopes if available. We'll be seeking all kinds of birds including migrant waterbirds and possible winter finches. This walk will be canceled in case of steady precipitation. Road and carpooling instructions: From Exit 9 off I-91, turn south on Route 5 towards Windsor. After going about 3 miles southward on Route 5, look for the Back Forty guns and ammo store on the left, with a Price Chopper supermarket just beyond, also on the left. This walk will begin at 8:00 AM by the entrance to a long driveway directly across Route 5 from the Back Forty store. Please do not drive into that driveway, vehicular use of which is reserved for local residents. Parking is available along Route 5, but be sure your site is legal. Carpoolers from towns around the Hanover/Norwich area are to leave from the River Road commuter parking lot in Norwich by the Ledyard Bridge at 7:30 AM that morning. George Clark Norwich, VT
