Main Content
ANNUAL PUFFIN TRIP
Penobscot Valley Audubon’s big puffin trip to Seal Island is now open for reservations. The National Wildlife Refuge hosts a large colony of Atlantic puffins. Razorbills, Common and Arctic Terns, Great Cormorants, and Common Eiders also nest here. Other seabirds and raptors are often spotted on or near the island, and we typically get great views of harbor seals and gray seals with their pups.
DETAILS in EVENTS.
The Penobscot Valley Chapter (PVC) offers programs and field trips throughout the year, both independently and in support of Fields Pond Audubon Center. We sponsor an annual financial award for outstanding scholarly research on wildlife and conservation topics at the University of Maine. We advocate and educate on wildlife conservation issues, often in partnership with other national, state, and local environmental organizations that operate within the greater Bangor region.
Maine Audubon members with home zip codes within the PVC region are automatically assigned as chapter members when they join. Maine Audubon members living outside the PVC region, including out-of-state residents, can specifically request chapter affiliation by contacting Maine Audubon’s membership department in Falmouth.
