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. 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.
Register at the Event Calendar of the Friends of Missisquoi website, http://friendsofmissisquoi.org/calendar

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.
