Observations will be entered into the Vermont eBird database where data is stored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. These walks are appropriate for birders of all skill levels and provide a wonderful opportunity to learn about birds throughout the seasons. The walks are available for all skill levels. Binoculars and a bird field guide are helpful. Dress for weather conditions.
