In every season of the year, birders may stumble upon the unusual: a western flycatcher with misguided migration; an arctic owl wandering south; or a far-flung waterfowl from across an ocean. How do these birds end up in our little state, and what can they tell us about our changing world?
At an upcoming Green Mountain Audubon program, take a look back on some of the most spectacular birds to visit Vermont and ponder which avian treasures may come next.
The presentation on rare birds of Vermont features Zac Cota, an expert birder, Birds of Vermont Museum board member, Vermont Bird Records committee member, Vermont eBird data expert and teacher and naturalist with North Branch Nature Center. Register for the talk on Thursday, April 18, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at greenmountainaudubon.org.
