Loon Pair and chick
Woodard Reservoir, Plymouth VT
Paddle Report
The Kayak Krew: Michelle (first to the launch), Quack, Jan and Stew and I visited Woodard Reservoir in Plymouth VT (along RTE 100 heading towards Killington.) It was a beautiful day and wasn't too crowded when we arrived.
We headed to the bog area to check out the pitcher plants.
There were so many pitcher plants!!
And Swamp Laurel.
We found our way around the floating bog mass...
And found a sweet little cut through.
We paddled around some more and noticed the lake was getting crowded with other kayakers and paddle boarders.
The highlight of the day was watching the loon pair feeding their chick.

Loon Fact of the Month
Nesting loons that are feeling comfortable will sit upright on the nest. In contrast, when feeling threatened, nesting loons will assume the 'hangover' position.In the hangover position, loons flatten themselves low over their nests and angle their heads down towards the water.
By assuming the hangover position, loons are trying to do two things: 1) minimize their appearance, in hopes of escaping detection by the perceived threat, and 2) get into a position from which it is easy for them to dive into the water should the threat remain present in the area.
Generally, we see loons in the hangover position when their nests are closely approached by people or boats. Both motorized and human-powered boats (canoes, kayaks, etc.) can cause loons to feel threatened and assume hangover position.
Vermont Governor Phil Scott lifted all remaining state pandemic restrictions. Masks, social distancing, and contact tracing will no longer be required in our buildings and parks. Persons may continue to wear a mask and social distance, however, they are leaving that decision to personal choice. If you wish to socially distance and a person is walking toward you, please kindly move to the distance of your comfort until the other person passes by you.
Boards, committees and commissions will meet in person at Martin Memorial Hall downstairs as temporary Open Meeting Law procedures in response to COVID-19 have ended. They will continue to offer remote access into their public meetings and this information will continue to be added to all public meeting agendas.
More information will follow, however, they ask that you please spread this information to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
Note: The Weathersfield Town Clerk is asking the public to wear a mask in her office. Please contact the Town Clerk by email at townclerk@weathersfield.org or by phone at 802 674-9500 with any questions or concerns.
The 8th annual VT Association of Chiefs of Police benefit golf tournament will be held at the Woodstock Country Club on August 30, 2021, shot-gun start at 11:00 a.m..
There will also be two (2) Hole In One Prizes this year. Golfers will have a chance on two separate holes to win $50,000 CASH on each hole!
It is important to be able to recognize when nesting loons are feeling threatened because if threat persists in the area, they may flush off of their nests and into the water, leaving their eggs vulnerable to predation or to temperature changes that can result in the eggs becoming inviable.
If you ever see a nesting loon in the hangover position, please give it more space! And if you accidentally cause a loon to flush its nest, please leave the area immediately—if the perceived threat leaves, loons will often return to their nests and resume incubation.

Vermont Loon Conservation Project
Vermont Center Ecostudies (VCE)
Annual July LoonWatch – On the third Saturday in July of every year, LoonWatch volunteers take to the water to count loons. It’s the single most effective way for VCE to document and track breeding loons across the state. Our next July LoonWatch will be on July 17, 2021.
From a mere seven pairs three decades ago, Common Loons now number more than 90 breeding pairs in the state. This conservation triumph came only with a collaboration among people and organizations across Vermont.Their chief partner in loon recovery and conservation is the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. Together, and with help from a corps of dedicated volunteers, they're securing a future for Common Loons in the state.
Their strategy features:
Monitoring – VCE recruits and trains volunteers who watch loons and provide essential information on their distribution, abundance, nesting success, and chick survival. This monitoring comes in a sister project called LoonWatch.
Management – On the shoreline and on the water, we work with lakeside landowners and lake visitors on practical protections for Common Loons. We place floating signs to advise boaters to stay clear of loon nests. We work with hydroelectric dam operators to stabilize reservoir levels during loon nesting season. And on waters where levels do fluctuate, our “nesting rafts” mimic islands and help loons succeed.
Public Outreach – VCE’s outreach strategy, featuring public presentations, media interviews, fact sheets, and other publications, ensures that people enjoy loons from a proper distance while fishing, boating, and swimming. Informed lake users are vital to the long-term conservation of Vermont’s loons.

Windsor County Bike Routes
The Mount Ascutney Regional Commission is pleased to provide this guide to encourage residents and visitors to explore our region by bicycle. The guide provides both maps and narrative descriptions of 19 ideal cycling routes. All of the maps identify the towns and villages they pass through, so routes may be selected by location using the individual map panes or the area overview map.
Routes are identified by yellow or orange lines—solid lines denote paved routes while dashed lines denote unpaved routes.
Each route passes through multiple towns and villages, and while they may be started anywhere along the route, likely parking areas are denoted with a parking icon. Open circles on the route lines signify mile markers—simply count the number of circles on the route between your current location and your destination to calculate distance. Bike shops, food, ice cream, breweries and taverns, swimming holes, and covered bridges are all identified on the maps with corresponding icons. Areas with potentially steep grades and rail road crossings are also identified on the maps.
Turn-by-turn cue sheets, GPS tracks, and digital routes via Strava® are available on the 'The Routes' tab of this website for each route. You'll also find printable maps for each route (remember; there are plenty of areas along these rides where there is no cell service).

Go Questing!
Questing is a place-based education model of creating and exchanging treasure hunts in order to collect and share your community’s distinct natural and cultural heritage — your special places and stories.
Follow the clues to the treasure box.
Inside the treasure box, you will discover more information about the site, a rubber stamp, stamp pad, a sign-in field journal, and a pencil. Sign your name in the book, adding a few notes or a sketch from your walk, and collect an impression of the stamp as a memento of your journey. Then, carefully re-hide the box exactly where you found it.
If you plan to go on more than one quest, you may wish to create your own “passport book” or field journal into which you will collect your stamp impressions.
You may also wish to create your own personal stamp so that you can leave your mark in each quest’s logbook.
If you are using one of the quests found online, simply print out the clues and the map and take it along with you, otherwise bring your quest book.
Just like any outdoor activity, be prepared for changes in the weather! It is important to bring a good map. Also bring a compass, a water bottle, snacks, and wear comfortable shoes. It’s always a good idea to carry a first aid kit if you will be out in the woods.
Do consider bringing along a field guide to local plants and animals, binoculars and a hand lens for magnification, and your passport book/field journal and personal stamp.
Valley Quest is always looking volunteers to be box monitors and quest testers. Each quest treasure box is checked on a regular basis during the questing season by a volunteer box monitor. These generous, fun-loving people help keep the Valley Quest program alive and running smoothly. If you are interested in becoming a box monitor for a quest in your town, please let us know!

Opening the Courtyard Theater will be the irreverent romp, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED), June 9-July 4, 2021. Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, and directed by Carol Dunne, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) will feature 37 Shakespeare plays in 97 minutes...outdoors. Three madcap actors in tights weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories, and tragedies in one wild ride that will leave audiences helpless with laughter. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is sponsored by Stave Puzzles, hand-crafted jigsaw puzzles made in Vermont.
The outdoor summer season at the Courtyard Theater will conclude with the roof-raising musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, August 11-September 12, 2021. Million Dollar Quartet takes patrons back in time to December 4, 1956, when icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins gathered for the first and only time at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. That legendary night will
come to life with a score of rock hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk the Line,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “Hound Dog.”
The breathtaking pas-de-deux play HEISENBERG, February 16-March 6, 2022, will bring audiences back into the Byrne Theater for the first indoor, fully produced play since March 2020. An electric encounter between two strangers in a train station grows, over six scenes, into a complex and life-changing relationship. Written by Simon Stephens and starring Northern Stage favorite Jamie Horton, the quietly powerful Heisenberg lays bare the beauty in the natural unpredictability of human connection.
Capping off the 2021/22 season at Northern Stage will be the uproarious MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT, April 13-May 15, 2022, in the Byrne Theater. With a book & lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, Monty Python’s Spamalot is lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The outrageous and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”

COVID-19 in Our Communities
PROTECT YOURSELF AND LOVED ONES
What you can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19:- Wear A Mask (this is not a political affiliation designation, it's a public health-your health safety measure)
- Stay 6 feet Away-assume everyone has been exposed but if you stay six feet away for under 15 minutes, you should be OK
- Avoid Crowds-the more people, the more potentially infected people you will encounter
- Wash Your Hands A LOT-remember your mom telling you this, it's a big DUH! Also try to avoid touching your face.
- Stay Home if You Are Sick-even if you only feel a little "off"
- Keep an EXPOSURE JOURNAL-when you leave your home "pod" keep track of where you go and who you saw and if you want to be proactive-how long were you with them.
