CBCA can often be a good spot for mammal sightings as well.\nLeader: Gordon Russell \nDirections:  From Forest Avenue in Orono\, take Taylor Road (aka the “Dump Road”) 0.3 miles to a slight left onto Putnam Road.  We will meet in the trailhead parking area in front of the gate.

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. \nLeaders:  Bob Milardo\, Val Watson\, & Rachel Darling \nDirections:  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.
