Windsor County 2012 Birding Quest is holding a bird walk to be led by Chris Rimmer and George Clark in Windsor, VT, on Saturday November 10, 2012. We'll start at Lake Runnemede at 8:00 AM and possibly later continue to another location in the town of Windsor. This walk is free and open to the public. Bring binoculars and scopes if available. Dress warmly. Participants should be prepared to walk as much as 2 miles over uneven and possibly damp terrain. We'll be looking for migrating waterbirds as well as lingering migrant and winter landbirds.

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. We'll aim to return to Norwich by 11:30 AM.
