A Chapter of Maine Audubon
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 […]
Join us for an evening with Chris Lewey, co-author of "The Science of Watching, the Art of Seeing, and The Power of Nature Absorption." His book offers a fresh pathway to the connection between humanity and our natural world with intuition, healing, and spiritual transformation. Connections with scientific facts and spiritual relationships open us to […]
Join us for a late fall visit to Chickawaukie Pond in Rockland. This pond attracts a good variety of migrating waterfowl including Ruddy Ducks, Ringed-neck Ducks, American Coots, scaup, goldeneye, merganser, and Buffleheads.

From the lighthouse, expect to see Great Cormorants, Black Guillemots, Common Eiders and Longtailed Ducks. Previous […]
Andre Breton's ambitious journey began on September 11, 2023, in Cartwright, Labrador, Canada, and ended 284 days later in Ushuaia, Argentina. The primary goals of Climate Zero were twofold: to plant enough trees to zero out his 52-year carbon footprint and to ride a bicycle from 54° north to 54° south, a complete transect of […]
Join us for the next in our series of field trips we're calling Salt Bay Sundays! It’s the middle of winter. The best place to bird is probably somewhere tropical, but if you are still in Maine, join us at Coastal Rivers Salt Bay Farm as we continue our Salt Bay Sunday series and look […]
The Rockland Breakwater is an inviting place to bird in winter if temperature, tides, and wind cooperate. A walk out on the Breakwater takes you into the middle of Rockland Harbor to where the sea birds can be found. In winter, it is a great spot for Purple Sandpipers, loons, grebes, scoters, Common Goldeneyes, Black […]
