LITTLETON, NH - On Saturday, May 19th from 7 - 9 a.m. the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust is hosting its annual bird walk to ACT land near Lowe's in Littleton and at ACT's Ammonoosuc River Wildlife Management Area in Lisbon. Birders of all ages and experience are invited to participate.

Brush off your birding skills or come and learn new ones. We'll look and listen for warblers, vireos, and others species that favor being near water, and we'll look at the eagles' nest on the Ammonoosuc River in Lisbon. ACT Executive Director Rebecca Brown will lead the group and offer tips and tricks for bird identification including birding by ear.

Registration for the walks is required - the walk is capped at 14 participants; pre-register early as walks can fill up fast. Already full? Reach out to Gal at outreach@aconservationtrust.org to be added to the wait list as cancellations do happen. Be aware registration closes on Friday, May 18th. Once registered, you will receive an e-mail with details of the meeting location. Birders of all experience levels and ages are welcome, and the walk is dog-friendly (bring a leash, be prepared for them to swim and get muddy; everyone be prepared for ticks). The walk is free, but donations are appreciated.
