SUMMARY: PVC ANNUAL MEETING AND IBERA PRESENTATION:  WOODCOCK MIGRATION IN THE GULF OF MAINE - 
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to elect chapter board members and officers\, followed by a presentation from the 2024 recipient of the Inez Boyd Environmental Research Award (IBERA).  Rachel Darling\, a Ph.D. candidate in Wildlife Ecology at the University of Maine\, will present updated findings from her ongoing research on the migration patterns of American Woodcock.  In addition to enhancing the scientific community’s limited understanding of woodcock migration routes\, altitudes\, and interactions with lighted structures at night\, Rachel’s research findings may help to influence site selection for offshore wind turbines in the Gulf of Maine\, so we can produce clean energy without contributing to further species declines.   \nPotluck dinner starting at 6 p.m.\nAnnual Meeting with featured speaker starting at 7 p.m.

SUMMARY: SUMMER SOLSTICE WILDLIFE RAMBLE - 
DESCRIPTION:This will be a leisurely walk through portions of the Caribou Bog Conservation Area (CBCA)\, an Orono Land Trust property where volunteers are rehabilitating the former Taylor Bait Farm ponds to provide improved habitat for ducks\, shorebirds\, wading birds\, and other species that breed and feed around ponds and freshwater marshes.  The hiking trails between the ponds host a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species\, notably black-billed cuckoo\, warblers\, woodpeckers\, and the occasional raptor. CBCA can be a good spot for mammal sightings as well\, including otters that swim in the ponds and cavort along the banks.  Directions:  from Forest Avenue in Orono\, follow 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.\nLeader:  Shane Barker\n(rain date June 22)
