FALL MIGRATION IN CENTRAL MAINE

Join three expert guides for a morning tour of productive birding hotspots in central Maine, focusing on species that rest and refuel around ponds, rivers, and lakes. Bob and Val are Maine Master Naturalists, and Rachel is a Wildlife Ecology Ph.D. student at the University of Maine.  We will make multiple stops including Plymouth Pond, Sebasticook Lake-Durham Bridge, Sprague’s Mill, and Corinna Bog/Corundel Lake.   We’re likely to spot a wide variety of waterfowl and late-migrating shorebird species - and usually find unexpected delights.  Bring binoculars and/or camera, and a spotting scope if you have one; the trip leaders will also share theirs with participants.

Leaders:  Bob Milardo, Val Watson, & Rachel Darling

Directions:  Meet at the commuter Park-and-Ride lot east of I-95 Exit 174 (Carmel-Newburgh), directly across from the Dysarts convenience store.  PLEASE NOTE: parking along the route is very limited, so carpooling is helpful.
