I have recently updated the Vermont section of the Birding Hotspots website. https://birdinghotspots.org/region/US-VT All of the eBird hotspots have information in three categories: Plan Your Visit, How to Bird Here, and About this Place.
Since moving to Vermont two and a half years ago, I have visited many nearby hotspots, but there are many I have not visited for which I have collected information from other sources. Many local birders have contributed information. Please feel free to help make these descriptions even better. On every page, there is a link to "Contribute content". You may suggest additions and offer adjustments to the descriptions. Is the information correct?
We are working on the website in cooperation with eBird. Birding Hotspots now uses photos of birding habitats that birders submit with eBird checklists. If there are no photos on a hotspot page, you may submit photos via an eBird checklist, and they will be added to the page in Birding Hotspots. Check the link to "Upload Photos" on any hotspot page for information about how to do this.
Thanks to the many birders in Vermont who have added information and photos!
