Calendar-Community Events

How do artists perceive birds, waters, and the ways we interact? As you view the exhibit, consider recent history and the ways we tell it; the much-longer history of humans on the landscape in the Green Mountains and Champlain Valley; and the much, much, much longer stories of how birds have evolved with, use, and been influenced by water and waterways. The show is open when the Museum is (Wednesday – Sundays, May 1 – October 31) and is included with admission. Admission is free for members. Show closes October 31. https://birdsofvermont.org/event/wings-waters-ways-2026-art-show-october/

At the Birds of Vermont Museum. ** How many birds (and birdwatchers) can we identify from a 17-foot diameter circle between sunrise and sunset? Can we beat last year’s record? We’ve seen birds big and small, in night and day: from Kinglets to Great Blue Herons, Barred Owls to Turkey Vultures. This is a great long-running community science project. Pledges and donations welcome. https://birdsofvermont.org/event/the-big-sit-2026/
