Welcome everyone!
Enjoy “Summer” Hours
Today we switch to our “open” season. The Museum is open 10 am – 4 pm, Wednesday – Sunday, every week from May to October.
Drop in or plan your visit; attend an event or wander the trails.
Check out our 2026 art exhibit, Wings • Waters • Ways .
Of course, our trails, tree house, bird blind, and pollinator sanctuaries are open! Bring a friend and a picnic (and good shoes and bug repellent). Spend time listening for frogs and birds at the pond or for birds from the accessible tree house. Trails are open sunrise to sunset every day.
Go birding—with us at the end of the month or anytime that works for you! We are open by appointment for this month, as well as during any events we host. We’ll return to regular hours in May!

Sugaring season is upon us, and it’s time to look for some early returning migrants. We’re still watching birds, making art, and exploring winter as often as we can.
We are open by appointment through the rest of the winter, as well as during the special events we have this month.
=== MARCH EVENTS ===
We had a relatively cold stretch of weather this January, which can lead to extra activity at the feeders. Perhaps that explains the one unusual sighting?

February can be a mellow short month, sometimes! We are counting birds, working on grants, making wee owls, and generally getting behind the scenes tasks done. We are open by appointment mostly, but just drop in on Valentines Day (no appointment needed). We have volunteer opportunities too!
=== FEBRUARY EVENTS ===
Explore the interwoven history of humans, birds, and waterways with your art. Consider upcoming “250th” celebrations in the US, 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. Ponder habitats, adaptations, and interactions.
The Birds of Vermont Museum invites art submissions that dive and soar with the ways of wings and waters for our 2026 community art show.
