Field Trip: Monhegan Island
September 23 @ 6:45 am - 5:30 pm
All are welcome! You don’t need to be an Audubon member or have advanced birding skills to join us. We simply hope to instill interest in the natural world through an understanding of how birds live and thrive in our area. We require that participants over the age of twelve be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

Monhegan Island is 10-miles off the coast and is a magnet for migrating warblers and other songbirds. We’ll also see hawks, falcons, marsh birds, and many seabirds from the boat and shore. A stop at the Monhegan Brewery is a great end to a wonderful day of birding.
We will meet at Monhegan Boat Line in Port Clyde at 6:45 am.
