SUMMARY: Birding By Ear Is Easier Than You Think! - 
DESCRIPTION:Join Bob Duchesne – avid birder\, Bangor Daily News columnist\, YouTube content producer\, and author of the official guide to the Maine Birding Trail – as he helps you demystify the art of birding by ear. In this popular presentation\, Bob will offer simple tips for mentally organizing what you’re hearing\, so you can take advantage of everything you already know to learn the songs you don’t yet recognize. Advanced birders are encouraged to attend and share their own tips. Free\, donations gratefully accepted. \nOnline program.

SUMMARY: Stream Explorers Workshop - 
DESCRIPTION:Can you volunteer some time to care for your local streams? Do you want to learn more about the critters that live in the water? Practice your sampling methods and macroinvertebrate identification skills at this free\, hands-on training workshop. Learn how to sample a stream for science and identify all the organisms you find\, in order to help professional scientists monitor water quality. Stream Explorers is one of Maine Audubon’s many community science projects\, featuring aquatic insects and what they can tell us about wildlife habitat and water quality. Educational resources for classroom teachers will be available. \nPlease pre-register for all programs at https://maineaudubon.org/events .

SUMMARY: Woodcock Watch! - 
DESCRIPTION:The display of male American woodcock\, termed the "Sky Dance" by Aldo Leopold\, is one of the first hallmarks of spring when they migrate back to Maine from their wintering grounds in the southeastern US. US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) annual surveys suggest that woodcock populations have declined over the past half-century. Using new GPS tracking technology\, researchers at the University of Maine have led efforts across the eastern U.S. and Canada to learn more about woodcock migration\, including how well the USFWS singing ground surveys correlate with the arrival of woodcock on their breeding grounds.  This program will focus on the knowns and unknowns of woodcock migration\, breeding strategies\, and population declines\, including new findings that the GPS tracking technology has made possible.  Following the presentation\, we’ll go outside to observe displaying male woodcock performing their Sky Dance at twilight over the sanctuary. \nPlease pre-register for all programs at https://maineaudubon.org/events .

SUMMARY: SPRING MIGRATION ON INLAND WATERS - 
DESCRIPTION:Leaders: Bob Milardo*\, Val Watson*\, and Rachel Darling \nJoin us for a spring migration tour to productive birding hotspots in central Maine\, with a focus on species that rest and refuel on Maine’s ponds\, rivers\, and lakes as they open up. We will make multiple stops including Plymouth Pond\, Sebasticook Lake-Durham Bridge\, Sprague’s Mill\, and Corinna Bog/Corundel Lake. We expect to spot a wide variety of waterfowl and wading birds\, shorebirds en route to their sub-Arctic breeding grounds\, and plenty of other resident and migratory species. Bring binoculars or camera\, and a spotting scope if you have one; the guides will also share theirs. \nDirections: Meet at the commuter Park-and-Ride lot east of I-95 at Exit 174 (Carmel-Newburgh)\, directly across from the Dysarts convenience store. PLEASE NOTE: parking along the route is very limited\, so carpooling is a must.
