where natural history meets art
August is a great month for growing and fattening up… especially if you’re a bird! We have some great pollinator plantings around the museum, which supports insects, which makes for plenty of food for many birds. We’re lucky enough this month to see and hear some of them—and some surprises too!
Back to school, back to migrating… Drop by the museum in your peregrinations.
In addition to our art show and Birding Without Barriers, we also have many programs. At this time of year the museum is open from 10am – 4 pm Wednesdays – Sundays. Admission is free for members. Visit birdsofvermont.org/visit/ for more information.
July is a month of rich growth: baby birds grow rapidly! By the time we see most of them, they are often nearly adults. It’s a amazing how some come into adult plumage patterns, while others spend a season or even years in juvenile colors (looking at you, id-resistant young hawks).
So much going on this summer! In addition to our Birding Without Barriers effort, we also have many programs. Come birding, explore nature, and make art with us.
At this time of year the museum is open from 10am – 4 pm Wednesdays – Sundays. Admission is free for members. Visit birdsofvermont.org/visit/ for more information.
Wowie zowie, what a bird list! I guess June is really the month from “So Much Singing” to “Oooh Babies at the Feeder”!

May is such a bursting month! Birds, birds, buds, buds. We’ve held our regular monthly monitoring walk, and our weekly Early Birder Morning walks, and of course been amazed but what we see and hear. Next year, we might hold the first two Early Birder walks at 7:30 or 8 am (it can be a little slow and chilly at 7); let us know what you think about that!
June brings lots of birding, a dinner event, and an art workshop, complementing the actual birds, the carvings, and annual community art show.

How do artists perceive birds, waters, and the ways we interact?
As you view the exhibit, consider recent history and the ways we tell it; the much-longer history of humans on the landscape in the Green Mountains and Champlain Valley; and the much, much, much longer stories of how birds have evolved with, use, and been influenced by water and waterways.

April can a be a bit of a slog for some of us (mud… warm … cold … more mud), but we have the treat of early migrants and brightening feathers and spring blooms!
