An Evening to Learn about Vermont's Mountain Birds:
EPT Winter Naturalist Series Kicks off with
“Mountain Birdwatch” Jan. 21
The public is invited to join songbird expert Dr. Judith Scarl of
the Vermont Center for Ecostudies and the Equinox Preservation Trust
(EPT) for her presentation of ”Mountain Birdwatch.” Dr.
Scarl will discuss the findings of a citizen science research project
on high-elevation songbird populations, notably the Bicknell’s Thrush.
The research involves yearly surveys of songbird populations
in the region, including Mt Equinox. The free program will be held in
the Manchester Room at the Equinox Hotel on Saturday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m.
Dr. Scarl’s presentation marks the kick-off of EPT’s new
winter lecture series and workshops focusing on the natural history of
the Taconics and the Equinox Highlands in which the Equinox Preserve is
located. Dr. Scarl’s program is sponsored by The Vermont Bird Place and
Sky Watch in Manchester Depot, and the Equinox Hotel.
Join Us for Our Monthly Bird Walk at Hildene
As we enter our 4th year of birding at Hildene, we've now grown to know what to expect and when to expect them... or so you think until you have that unusual sighting that makes the walk all the more worthwhile.
Winter walks are usually a little more quiet than our spring and summer walks, but every now and again we'll see something unusual - like a big flock of robins flying through in February!
We look forward to seeing you on our walks throughout 2012!
