Join us as we monitor a variety of bird species at Missisquoi National
Wildlife Refuge.

This month's Bird Monitoring Walk will be on Saturday August 19, 2017 on
the Jeep Trail.  Meet at 8:00 AM at the Louie's Landing fishing access on
Rte 78, about 3.5 miles west of Swanton village.  We will meet at the gate
and drive in to the trail head at Mac's Bend.  If you have any questions,
email me at [log in to unmask]

The monthly walks gather long-term data on the presence of birds, their
abundance, and changes in populations. The information we gather is entered
into the Vermont e-Bird database where data is stored by the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology. These walks are appropriate for all levels of birders and
provide a wonderful opportunity to learn about birds throughout the
seasons. Led by Ken Copenhaver and Julie Filiberti, Friends of Missisquoi
National Wildlife Refuge board members.  (This month, Charlotte Bill will
be filling in for Julie.)

After 88 months of walks we have observed 145 species.  Hope to see you
there!
