Hello All, Bridget Butler and I are starting a monthly bird monitoring walk at Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge. The walks will be on the third Saturday of each month from 8:00 AM until approximately 10:00 AM. We plan to rotate among the four best birding trails on the refuge. Below is the announcement for our first walk. Hope you can join us! --Ken Copenhaver Join us as we monitor a variety of birds species at Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge. The monthly walks will gather long-term data on the presence of birds, their abundance, and changes in populations. The information we gather will be entered into the Vermont e-Bird database where data is stored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. These walks are appropriate for all levels of birders and provide a wonderful opportunity to learn about birds throughout the seasons. Led by Bridget Butler and Ken Copenhaver, Friends of the Missisquoi Wildlife Refuge board members. This month's walk will be on March 20, 2010 on the Old Railroad Passage Trail. Meet at 8:00 AM at the parking lot across the road from Stephen Young Marsh on Tabor Road in West Swanton. Contact Ken Copenhaver with any questions at [log in to unmask]
