On Saturday December 1, 2012, Windsor County 2012 Birding Quest is to 
hold a bird walk along the Connecticut River from 8:00 to 11:00 AM. 
We'll start in the Wilder section of Hartford, VT, and thereafter 
continue northward, with a series of stops, perhaps reaching, if time 
allows, Kendall Station Road in Norwich. Chris Rimmer and George Clark 
are to lead. This bird 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. We'll be looking for late migrants and wintering birds on both land and water.

In case of adverse 
weather or hazardous driving conditions on the 1st, this walk is to be 
held at the same time on the next day (Dec. 2).

Road 
instructions: From Exit 12 off I-91 in Wilder, turn east onto Bugbee 
Street and continue to the junction with Route 5. Turn left onto Route 
5. Go north on Route 5, and take the fourth right turn onto Depot
 Street. Follow Depot Street past the Post Office on the left and 
shortly thereafter turn left onto Norwich Avenue. Almost immediately, 
turn right to pass over the new bridge leading to Passumpsic Avenue. 
Turn right onto Passumpsic and continue to the first opening through the
 guard rail on the right where a parking lot will be the starting point 
at 8:00 AM. Please meet at this large lot rather than use the other 
parking areas available in that vicinity. For the remainder of the time 
we'll plan to carpool where feasible.
