Monthly Bird Walk @ Old Railroad Passage Trail
Jan 17 @ 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Please join us for our monthly bird monitoring walks on the refuge.  Ken Copenhaver and Julie Filiberti lead the walks on various refuge trails on the third Saturday of each month (except December and May, when it will be on the second Saturday). The purpose of the walks is to gather long-term data on the presence of birds, their abundance, and changes in populations. Observations are 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.

Our walk this month will be on Saturday, January 17, from 8:00 to 10:00 AM at the Old Railroad Passage Trail.  Meet at the parking lot on Tabor Rd, about 1 mile past the refuge Visitor Center.

If you have any questions, contact Ken Copenhaver at copenhvr@gmail.com

An Evening of Bird Tales
Feb 5 @ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM

An Evening of Bird Tales is one of the Friends of Missisquoi NWR’s most popular events. Join us and find out why!

Enduring a long Vermont winter is not for the weak, but for some birds, a winter get-a-way to our area is akin to a tropical vacation. If one is prepared for the weather, it can be an exciting venture to head out to find some of these vacationing birds from the north. This year’s Bird Tales will focus on some of the fabulous birding that can be had if you’re willing to brave the cold.

Please check back later for details and to REGISTER for this online event. We hope you join in on the fun!
