51st Plainfield Christmas Bird Count
Saturday, December 17, 7:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.      
Fee: $5, free for children under 19
We will scour the greater Montpelier area for every bird we can find, leaving no Chickadee uncounted in our attempt to “census” birds across Vermont and beyond. Optional potluck dinner after the count.

Not available for the whole day or want to involve your whole family? Feel free to come by to help us count the species that found are around NBNC from 9am to noon. Binoculars provided. We’ll help with bird identification!

Mid-winter Bald Eagle Survey
Fee: free
Saturday, January 7, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Surveys of wintering Bald Eagles began in the late 1970’s and continue to this day.  We invite you to join in this effort to monitor eagles. Our transect will most likely cover the lower portion of the Winooski River, where several eagles typically over-winter.

Superbowl of Birding IX
Saturday - Sunday, January 27-28
Fee: TBD
We participated in this exciting event, centered around Plum Island in Massachusetts, the past 3 years cumulatively tallying 78 species! This year, we may extend our trip to be a full weekend, so it’s never too early to start thinking about! To be guaranteed a spot on the team, please register by Dec. 16.
