Friends of Missisquoi Calendar
Join the Friends of Missisquoi NWR as they hold a daybreak bird walk on the Maquam and Black Creek trails.
It will commence at 4:00 am from the parking area. During the 1-mile hike into Lookout Point in the dark, participants will be listening for owls and other nocturnal birds. Daylight birding will take place on the return trip out. Please bring a headlamp or flashlight.
Preregistration is not required, but we appreciate having contact information in case of updates.
The theme of this year’s World Migratory Bird Day is
Creating Bird-Friendly Cities & Communities
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. 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 May walk each year is part of our World Migratory Bird Day weekend! This will be one of several walks held over the weekend. Join us on Saturday, May 17th from 8:00 to 10:00 AM at the Stephen Young Marsh Trail. Meet at the parking lot on Tabor Rd, about 1 mile south of the refuge Visitor Center.
–>Be sure to check the calendar for other World Migratory Bird Day events at the refuge!
