All, This is my first posting to the list serve, so I hope it all goes well. I wish to let anyone who is interested, know, that there will be a International Migratory Bird Day event at the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, May 10 beginning at 7:30 AM. We would ask that anyone wishing to participate in a trail walk, canoe/kayak paddle, or motorboat tour (very limited opportunities) contact the refuge and register at 802-868-4781. We complete a general tally of the birds heard and/or observed on each of the venues and then total all species and numbers encountered over a light lunch which is sponsored by the Friends of Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge. Water levels are very high this year and portions of our trails are inundated so there may be some abbreviated walks, but the walks are nevertheless, enjoyable at any length. We meet at the refuge headquaters at 29 Tabor Rd. Swanton VT at 7:30 AM for a briefing and distribute from there. Please dress for the weather and waterproof boots are a must. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you. David Frisque, Visitor Services, Missisquoi NWR 802-868-4781
