Anyone interested in seeking early winter birds in Norwich village and simultaneously supporting the Haven are welcome to join a leisurely bird walk this Saturday morning. As one of many activities for "The 19 Days of Norwich, 1% for the Haven", a 90-minute stroll will begin from Dan and Whit's General Store at 9:00 am. We'll walk a loop up Beaver Meadow to Hopson Road and on to Hillside Cemetery, where we'll cut over to Pine Tree Road and return via Hopson, arriving back at Dan & Whit's by 10:30. A mix of suburban and woodland birds is likely, possibly including Carolina Wren and Red-bellied Woodpecker - both have been seen and/or heard in the vicinity during the past couple of weeks. As always, birders of all abilities and inclinations are welcome to join this walk. We only ask that you be willing to offer a contribution to the Haven - a donation of $10 is suggested. Please make sure to dress warmly, with a hat and gloves, and wear warm, fairly sturdy winter boots. If you have binoculars, bring them. If you don't, no worries, we'll share. I hope to see some of you there. Chris -- Chris Rimmer Vermont Center for Ecostudies P.O.
