State of the Birds: Decades of Change

Join us for our monthly program on November 19 at 6 pm via Zoom (details below). Nick Lund of Maine Audubon will discuss how bird populations in Maine are continually changing. This presentation covers the changes over the last few decades and discusses which species are disappearing and which are increasing. Nick will also look into the future to see what might be in store for Maine birds, and use his crystal ball to answer your questions.

This will be a free online presentation hosted by the Camden Public Library. To register for the event, please email Julia Pierce (
