The warm spring weather brings back the birds to the Mad River Valley AND brings out the Mad Birders too! On Saturday May 2nd, Patti Haynes and Gib Geiger led twelve birding enthusiasts on one of the first of our scheduled walks of the season.  At Mountain Valley Farm we tallied 28 species of birds with returning Barn, Cliff and Tree Swallows as highlights. We also enjoyed Bluebirds in the orchard.
Mad Birder walks will continue through June and can be viewed on our events calendar. The ever popular Big Morning will be May 23rd at Sainsbury’s and the Bicknell’s quest is June 20th at Sugarbush.
