Missisquoi NWR "Big Weekend Challenge"
Missisquoi’s World Migratory Bird Day “Big Weekend Challenge" - Since our annual World Migratory Bird Day festivities needed to be canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, we lost a year of our long-term data. This year, we are adapting and changing the way we usually hold our event, and we really need your help. Instead of guided group walks and boat excursions, we are introducing the “Big Weekend Challenge”. We invite you to come and independently help us document the birds present on the refuge. Here’s how to participate: Register for our “Big Weekend Challenge” so you are eligible for our door prizes and so we know you are coming. Visit the refuge trails and/or waterways anytime from sunrise to sunset on Saturday and Sunday. For a map of trails and water access points please download the Refuge Trail Map at https://www.fws.gov/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=2147616885 ***Please note the Jeep Trail will be closed at this time of year, but Mac’s Bend Road will be open for walking. Record all your bird sightings via eBird to any of the refuge’s hotspots and share your lists with our eBird account (MNWRBirdDay) which allows us to have a record of your data.
