Field Trip: Salt Bay Farm, Damariscotta

Join us as we seek early migrants at the Salt Bay Farm in Damariscotta, co-hosted by Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust. We’ll walk the meadow looking for Savannah and other sparrows, scan the pond for ducks and geese, investigate the forest edges for early migrating warblers and songbirds, and then scan the Great Salt Bay for gulls, ducks, Osprey and Belted Kingfishers. eBird has records for 212 species at this birding hotspot. Here is last year’s checklist.

To start the day, we’ll meet at 7:00 AM at the Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust parking lot at 110 Belvedere Road. For more information, please call the trip leader, Mael Glon, at 801-864-2316.

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.
