Find out who's sticking around for winter and see how they're getting along in the snow and cold. 

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. Binoculars and bird guides are available to borrow.  

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 program is free, but donations to Audubon are always 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 and social media 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 Visitor Center, our meeting place. If you require accommodations or have questions about accessibility, please contact Audubon Vermont at 802-434-3068.
