🦅 A Blue Highway in the Sky 🦅

Long before explorers and soldiers traveled Lake Champlain's waters, the skies above served as a vital route for millions of migratory birds. This "blue highway" is a crucial part of the Atlantic Flyway, offering bird lovers a chance to witness nature's grand journey.

Today, birders line the shores with binoculars in hand, scanning the horizon for a glimpse of something extraordinary—perhaps even a rare Arctic visitor. 🌊✨

📸 Share your best birding moments from Lake Champlain and tag us—we’d love to see what you've spotted!
