Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area Addison, VT Saturday, November 7 Did someone say snow geese? Last year’s visit to this major migratory stop on the Lake Champlain flyway produced a tally of over 3,500 of the birds. Watchers occasionally were treated to wonderful views of the flock spiraling upward creating spectacular white, cloud-like formations. Depending on conditions, expect to see a variety of waterfowl, raptors and perhaps even late migrating shore birds. This is an all day event. Car poolers will depart at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday November 7, 2015, from the “Park ‘n Ride” lot on the Vermont side of the Ledyard Bridge in Norwich. If coming from Hanover, cross the Ledyard Bridge and take an immediate right turn onto River Road and then take an immediate left turn into the lot which will be our departure point at 7 AM. The trip, arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon, is free and open to the public and is to be led by Spencer Hardy. All experience levels are welcome. The walking is level traveling over paved and dirt roads. Bring binoculars and spotting scopes if available. Dress warmly as wind chill conditions can be quite cool at that time. Packing a lunch and water is recommended. In the unfortunate event of adverse weather conditions the event will be cancelled.
