In every season of the year, birders may stumble upon the unusual: a western flycatcher with misguided migration, an arctic owl wandering south, or a far-flung waterfowl from across an ocean. How do these birds end up in our little state, and what can they tell us about our changing world? Together we will look back on some of the most spectacular birds to visit Vermont, and ponder which avian treasures may come next. Join us for this presentation on rare birds of Vermont with Zac Cota.

Zac Cota is an expert birder, Birds of Vermont Museum board member, Vermont Bird Records Committee member, Vermont eBird Data Expert, and Teacher-Naturalist with North Branch Nature Center.
