Whether you're an experienced birder or a first timer, this event is the perfect opportunity to connect with nature, learn about local bird species, and contribute to community science efforts to monitor bird populations.

Meet us on the front porch of the Audubon Vermont Center, where staff will be on hand to guide you through birdwatching techniques, identification tips, and share fascinating facts about the avian species that call Vermont home. After we finish our fifteen-minute count you'll have the chance to explore the beautiful surroundings of our Center, and potentially spotting a variety of birds that frequent our forests, fields, and feeders.
