EARLY SPRING BIRDING IN ESSEX WOODS

Leaders: Gloria Vollmers and Paul Markson.  This perennial Bangor birding hot-spot has earned the nickname of “Little Penjajawoc,” since it is part of the larger Penjajawoc-Caribou Marsh wetlands ecosystem that covers a huge swath of the greater Bangor region.  No matter what you choose to call it, this is always a lively place to look for puddle ducks, marsh species, year-round residents, and early-returning migratory species.  Meet in the Essex Woods parking lot at the end of Watchmaker Street, off Essex Street in Bangor.
