Windsor County 2014 Birding Quest is holding a bird walk on Sunday August 10, 2014, to the North Springfield (VT) Reservoir area. This walk is free and open to the public. Bring binoculars and scopes if available. Participants should be prepared to walk as much as a mile over level but uneven terrain. Leaders include Chris Rimmer and George Clark. We'll be looking for summer resident species and any early fall migrants or wanderers. For those who wish to carpool, we're to leave at 6:45 AM from the commuter parking lot located on the west side of River Road in Norwich (just north of Route 10A) by the Ledyard Bridge. For those who would like to join us en route, we plan to arrive about 7:35 AM in the parking area at Downer's Country Store on Route 106 on the southwestern corner of the intersection of Routes 131 and 106 In Weathersfield. From there, we'll continue south on Route 106 with our route thereafter to be determined by visibility. If conditions are clear, we'll be heading past the southern end of Stoughton Pond via Reservoir Road to the Springweather area. Alternatively, if low level fog is a concern, as has been the situation on some recent days, we plan to use the Maple Street entrance in Perkinsville to visit the west side of the North Springfield Reservoir. We'll aim to return to Norwich around 11:00 AM.
