Below is a link for all official eBird observations on the Museum’s property — from the viewing window and elsewhere, across all years of observations: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L282687 . Just for fun and cross-reference, this next link brings you to the iNaturalist records of birds at the Birds of Vermont Museum : https://www.inaturalist.org/places/199495#taxon=3
If you follow us on tiktok, BlueSky, Facebook and/or Instagram, you’ll find us talking about bird news, sharing photos, suggesting events, and more. Check us out! We are currently most active on Instagram and tiktok. We’ve got a Youtube profile, but largely we share interesting woodcarving tutorials there.
The “Through the Window” series is an informal record of observations made by staff, volunteers, and visitors. Anyone at the Museum may add to this list. Observations are usually through our viewing window: a large window with a film covering that helps hide watchers from the birds. We have chairs and binoculars to try, a white board, and many identification guides. Outdoors, several feeders are attached on a single, 8′ steel pole. A small pond, flowers and water plants, shrubs and trees add cover and (seasonally) other food choices.
