Northeast Kingdom Audubon's BIRDATHON
Will be held on Sunday, May 18, 2008.
Join us at one of the great birding hotspots in the Northeast Kingdom and see how many species we can find. You will be birding with one of six excellent birders who will help you find, identify and learn about Vermont's unique population of birds. We will explore varied habitats to find what birds are breeding there. With this annual fundraiser, NEK Audubon will sponsor two local children at conservation camps this summer. This is a wonderful, eye-opening opportunity for our young people.
