Field Trip: Salt Bay Sunday! Damariscotta

Welcome to the first of a series of field trips we’re calling Salt Bay Sundays!

Salt Bay Farm is widely viewed as an excellent destination for birding in spring, but it has a lot to offer in fall as well! Join us as we explore this preserve’s varied habitats looking for sparrows, pipits, finches, and waterfowl. We might even get lucky and find some late stragglers in need of extra motivation to fly south! On the right day, this hotspot can yield over 50 species even in fall (see, for example, this eBird checklist).

Directions: We’ll meet in the preserve parking lot located at 110 Belvedere Rd, Damariscotta, ME 04543. This property has a good amount of parking available, but please consider carpooling if possible.

All are welcome! This trip will be led by Mael Glon. For questions, or to sign up, please send an email to Mael Glon (
