Vermont Birding Month
Gov. Jim Douglas declared June as “Vermont Birding Month” which made us at Ten Acres very happy. Stowe is a great place for birding with an abundance of species in the skies. It is also special to us because we have a wide variety of bird carvings in the main lodge. The fact that they are beautiful and lifelike is reason enough to make them special, but they hold a special place in my heart. The carvings were done by my Dad, AB Wilson. After retirement from the Navy, he took up carving as a “hobby” and it soon became a second career for him. Before his death last year, he made sure we had a collection of his works that represent what you will find in Vermont. Goldfinches, Cardinals, Bluebirds, Chickadees and much more. If you find yourself up this way, please do drop by and see these wonderful carvings.
There are many events going on this month in Stowe to celebrate Vermont Birding Month. Seminars, guided nature walks, art displays and more. Some of my Dad’s works are displayed in the Stowe Library. At Ten Acres, we will also show some films on birds in our Hill House cinema.
If you like birds or birding, come on up to Stowe and check it out.
