Do you love birds? Join us at the Green Mountain Audubon Center for our monthly bird monitoring walk! We will look for our favorite winter birds and see how they are faring.

Following our regular monitor route, we will search for birds in various habitats at the Audubon Center. This is a great opportunity to build your experience using binoculars and listening to bird song. We will identify the birds we see or hear, and record counts of their population numbers. Beginners are welcome! Binoculars and birding guides are available to borrow from the Visitor Center's Gear Library.

The long-term data we gather contributes to the eBird database, which is available to a global community of educators, land managers, ornithologists, conservation biologists, and the public. Explore bird sightings from Audubon Vermont's Green Mountain Audubon Center. 

We typically finish our monitoring route by about 10 am, but you can leave earlier if necessary. 

This event is free and no registration is required. However, donations to Audubon are appreciated. 

Regarding the weather: Normally with light snow in the forecast, we will go ahead with the walk. If strong winds, heavy snow, or ice are expected, we will reschedule the walk. Please check our website, Facebook, and Instagram for updates. 

Trail/accessibility information: Our walk will be at a slow (birding) pace and will cover approximately 1.5 miles. The trail is unpaved and there are two short sections of stairs on the route. Wheelchair-accessible bathroom facilities are located in the office, our meeting place. If you require accommodations or have questions about accessibility, please contact Audubon Vermont at 802-434-3068
