The Birds of Vermont Museum is a delightful place where visitors can learn about birds and their roles in the earth's ecosystems. A private, non-profit organization, the Museum features over 500 carved wooden birds, representing 259 species. Here, natural history meets art. The woodcarvings depict Vermont's nesting species in their natural habitats as well as North America's endangered and extinct species. The Museum's displays, the surrounding 100 acre bird sanctuary/nature preserve, and the bird viewing window offer visitors a unique opportunity to see and study birds that will not fly away!

The birds are carved by Robert Spear, Jr., a native Vermonter, who is one of Vermont's foremost naturalists and woodcarvers. Additional birds have been carved by Ingrid Rhind and Dick Allen. New carvings are added as we expand exhibits each year. The mural backgrounds to both Fall and Spring Migration Dioramas, as well as several other murals throughout the museum, were painted by Vermont artist Libby Davidson.

Several picnic spots with tables are available at the Museum, just outside the front door and at a nearby pond, a short walk away. Each year between 4000-5000 adults and children visit the Museum. Audubon Vermont is located just down the road from the Museum, convenient for combined visits.
