On Saturday April 14, 2012, Vermont County 2012 Birding Quest will hold a
morning field trip led by Chris Rimmer and George Clark and starting at
7:30 AM at Lake Runnemede in Windsor, VT, and likely continuing to at
least one other location in that town with an ending time around 10:30
AM. Road instructions are given below; please note that there will be
carpooling from Norwich. This field trip is free and open to the public.
Participants should be able to walk at least a mile over fairly level,
but sometimes uneven, ground. Bring binoculars and a scope if available.
We'll be especially looking for waterbirds and landbird migrants in an
excellent birding site.
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 7:30 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 7:00 AM that morning. Vehicles are scheduled to
return to the commuter lot by 11:00 AM.
