Project Description
Welcome, Birders!
In this monthly program, we’ll visit different habitats in the Burlington area to target different birds. We’ll visit the Burlington crow roost in January, see thousands of snow geese on their stopover in November, seek out overwintering goldeneyes on the lake, and wrangle wily warblers in May.
Who: Birders of all abilities and ages welcome.
When: 10-11:30am, 2nd Sunday of each month. Come to one trip or come every month!
Where: Great birding sites in the Burlington area (see schedule below)
What to bring: Binoculars (cameras optional). We’ll provide field guides and have a few extra binoculars on hand as well, so don’t be shy if you don’t have any gear
Cost: Suggested donation on sliding scale $5-10 per person, $5-20 per family (donations help purchase binoculars and field guides). You can pay with cash, check or venmo (@crowspath).
No registration necessary, but an RSVP would help us prepare! Sign up for our monthly newsletter to get Bird Club announcements.
