Hermit Thrush (a small brownish-backed bird with a gray-buff spott4ed breast) in profile. It faces to the lef,t and is perched on a mossy loss. The background appears to be out-of-focus brownish branches and woody stems. Photo by Mark Paul and used with permission.

Not an early riser? You’re not alone. Some birds also prefer to sing, call, or display in late afternoon and early evening.

Enjoy a sunset stroll around the Museum’s forests and clearings and “meet” some of them. Erin Talmage and Ali Wagner will lead the walk.

Although we may see and hear fewer species than we do at dawn, a late day ramble gives us more time to appreciate each kind and to better learn their songs. In addition, we may observe moths, frogs, other insects, and maybe even a mammal or two.

Please call 802 434-2167 to reserve your spot or use the button below.

Max: 8
Suggested donation: $5-$15
Meet at the Museum entrance

Conditions: Trails can be muddy and uneven, and there are some slopes. We usually walk then pause for observation. Some benches here and there provide additional rest points.

Tick protection is recommended.
