The Mascoma Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon Society and the
Vermont County Birding Quest are to hold a bird walk from 8 to 11 AM
on Saturday April 2, 2011. George Clark is to lead, starting by
looking for birds in the area of Ledyard Bridge. Participants will
then carpool to other nearby birding locations to be determined on the
basis of reports closer to that date. We'll be especially looking for
waterfowl and other early spring migrants. This walk is free and open
to the public. Children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Bring
binoculars and scopes if available and dress warmly. Participants
should be prepared to walk as much as a mile over fairly level ground.
This walk will not be held in case of steady rain or hazardous driving
conditions.

Road instructions: From Exit 13 off I-91, turn towards Hanover, NH. On
approaching the Ledyard Bridge across the Connecticut River, pull into
the turn lane to go left at the stop light onto River Road in Norwich.
Once on River Road, take the immediate first left turn into the
commuter parking lot which at 8:00 AM is to be the starting point for
this bird walk.

If coming from Hanover, NH, cross the Ledyard Bridge into Norwich and
take the first right onto River Road. Then take an immediate left turn
into the commuter parking lot.
