Field Trip: Pine Point & Environs

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.
********************************************

We’ll be seeking the second wave of sandpipers and plovers at this consistent lure for shorebirds fattening up for the long flight south. This area also offers fine viewing of waterfowl and wading birds. Whimbrel and American Oystercatchers will be target species.  Pine Point is where the Scarborough River empties into the Atlantic Ocean.

Our intention is to be at Pine Point at 7:30 AM. Those wishing to carpool from the north will depart Damariscotta Hannaford’s at 5:45 AM. We’ll make additional stops at the Scarborough Marsh.

We welcome birders of all ages and skill levels. For more information, or in the event of inclement weather, please call trip leader, Will Brussard, at (207) 837-9520.
