Calling All Bird Lovers! ACT’s Spring Bird Walk is June 8

LISBON – Birders of all ages and experience are invited to join the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust (ACT) for its annual bird walk on Saturday, June 8th from 7 to 9 a.m. This year we’l be visiting an ACT property in Lisbon along the Ammonoosuc River to see and hear birds of marsh, fields, and woods.

Brush off your birding skills or come and learn new ones as we look and listen for warblers, vireos, and others species that favor being near water. We’ll also look for the eagles nest on the Ammonoosuc River to see what activity may be happening. ACT Executive Director Rebecca Brown will lead the group and offer tips and tricks for bird identification including birding by ear. After the walk, anyone interested is invited to join Rebecca for breakfast at Polly’s Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill.
