Christmas Bird Count - Ferrisburg, Vermont

Contact: Stacy Robinson at maplemeadows@hotmail.com

Note from coordinator: The Ferrisburg, Vermont CBC circle includes portions of New York’s shorelines south of Westport and north to Whallon’s Bay in Essex. It’s comprised of rural roads, woods, and farmland criss-crossed with Champlain Area Trails (CATS). Highlights often include waterfowl, raptors, and wintering songbirds. The circle includes the well known Magic Triangle in Essex offering habitat for field birds like Snow Buntings and Horned Larks. During daylight hours we’ll search for Red-tailed and Rough-legged Hawks or Northern Harriers. But at dusk and dawn we can often find Short-eared Owls out hunting. We will meet at the Westport Boat Launch at 7:30 am.
