CAVENDISH, Vt. – Join the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association (CCCA) and the Mount Ascutney Audubon Society for our annual bird walk on Saturday, May 9, at 7:30 a.m. The walk is limited to 12 participants, so please let us know if you plan to attend. You can register for the walk and address any questions to Jen Leak at jleak499@gmail.com or cavendishcommunityconservation@gmail.com. Once you register we will give you directions for the meetup point.
This walk has been stewarded by Michael and Marianne Walsh, of the Mount Ascutney Audubon Society, and Ken Cox, who will be our guide for the walk in May. Cox has his degree in fisheries biology and is a lifelong birder who has birded extensively over the years in the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest regions of the United States. He has also volunteered as a citizen scientist for the Vermont Center for Ecological Studies and the Audubon Society.
The walk will take place on a trail through wooded areas and open fields. It is a moderate hike. A little rain won’t stop us, so come prepared. Long pants, good walking shoes, and whatever you deem necessary for warding off ticks are recommended. Bring your binoculars and your curiosity.
