Summer Calendar Update!

Ongoing strictures imposed by the Covid-19 virus pandemic continue to have an impact on our ability to schedule events.

As of this writing, our walks normally held in June have been cancelled and our annual July expedition - Birding along River Road from Hanover to Lyme - has been put on hold pending a more clear picture regarding what restrictions on social gatherings will be in place at that time.

Meanwhile, we encourage members of the Upper Valley birding community to get out and enjoy summer bird watching in our beautiful region; always keeping in mind Covid-19 related guidelines for interacting responsibly with your birding colleagues.

Annual Wilder Dam Bald Eagle Watch

Saturday, February 15

Wilder Dam

Wilder, VT

Under a brilliantly, blue sky, with the coldest conditions ever (two-below-zero at the start) to afflict one of our birding events, the 2020 Mascoma Chapter birding season commenced.

Ten hearty souls, and one obliging, adult bald eagle, were on hand when the outing commenced at 10:00 a.m. Over the ensuing two hours, a total of ten species were observed from the overlook at the Wilder Dam's lower parking area. This included five common mergansers fishing downstream, a pair of circling common ravens and a house finch couple getting an early start on setting up a nest.

Thanks to George Clark and Blake Allison for being co-leaders, and thanks to Blake for keeping the eBird count.
