Date: 5/20/25 3:50 am From: Mascoma Chapter NH Audubon <mascomabirds...> Subject: [NHBirds] Windsor Grasslands Outing This Saturday, the 24th
Please join members of NH Audubon's Mascoma Chapter as we visit Windsor Grasslands WMA in Windsor, VT. The walk begins at 7:30 sm.
Formerly the site of the Vermont State Prison Farm, Windsor Grasslands has long been a favorite destination to see a variety of species associated with open fields and wetlands. Past visits have produced sightings of northern harriers, American kestrels, Wilson's snipe, field sparrows and Bewster's warblers among others.
To get to our meeting place, take I-91 south to Exit 9 (Windsor/Hartland) and at the top of the ramp turn left onto US 5. Head south to Windsor's business district, and at the stoplight, turn right onto State St. Travel west for about a mile to a fork in the road. Stay to the left onto Hunt Rd. shortly passing under I-91 thereafter. Continue on Hunt to Marton Rd.. Turn right and follow it north abou a mile to a pull off next to a small, brick pump house.
Our route will mostly take us over dirt roads that could be muddy if there has been substantial rain. Appropriate footwear is advised. Bring binoculars and/or spotting scopes as you prefer.
