In response to changes in the Vermont and CDC guidance with respect to outdoor activities during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Mad Birders are changing their protocols for our Spring Bird Walks as follows:

Vaccination is no longer required. However, masks must be worn. This is in recognition of the fact that during group birding it is often quite difficult to maintain social distancing. Our walks are free and open to the public. We hope you will join us. The walk schedule is set forth below:

All walks will begin at 8am and will last 1.5 – 2 hours except for the walks on May 22nd, June 12th, and June 26th, which have an earlier start time and may also last longer. Waterproof footwear and/or hiking boots are advised. Bring binoculars, water and insect repellent.
