where natural history meets art
As usual, we keep track of birds seen through the window with notes on a white board by the window (see the list below). We had a couple of less-usual species sighted this month, including both year-round residents (just not usually observed from the window) and migratory species.
Spring is surely happening!
Spring mornings are terrific for birding. Join us for a walk led by experienced birders. Lachlan Ziegler will lead this week’s walk.
Who’s singing, calling, nesting, or flying around the Birds of Vermont Museum? Discover birds on an early morning ramble in the Museum’s forest and meadows. Walks are led by experienced birders familiar with Vermont birds.
Bring binoculars and good walking shoes. Early mornings are often damp with dew and boots are definitely in order. Don’t forget bug spray/tick repellent!
Park at 900 Sherman Hollow Road, in the Museum parking lot.

We’re busy getting ready for Opening Day in May! Choosing art, organizing volunteers, checking trails… While we do this, the Museum is open by appointment and for special events.
The trails are open from sunrise to sunset, every day—we recommend using the south trails (Spear, Discovery, Story) rather than Gale’s, Pop’s, or Bob’s, thanks to flooding last July. Trail maps and more information are available on our website, and are posted at the museum and at trail kiosks as well. (Let us know if the wind moved any!)
Please help us prepare the Museum for spring (and summer)—we’ll feed you if you tell us you’re coming!
There’s lots to do, indoors and out. From helping in the “gardens” to assisting in the museum, we have opportunities for all.
Come for an hour or all day, bring yourself, a friend, a family.
All welcome! • Please register (so we have enough sandwiches) at https://sevendaystickets.com/organizations/birds-of-vermont-museum
Or call (802) 434-2167 or email museum@birdsofvermont.org.
If you can’t come this day, please consider a couple of hours, another day, a weekly rotation, or something else! Whether you are maintaining trails and meadows, helping visitors at the front desk, or deep in office datawork, we would love your company and assistance. We train you. Thank you!
