A Chapter of Maine Audubon
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. After freeze up, these species will be gone. This trip will be led by Jeff Cherry. We’ll meet at the public boat […]
Join us for the next in our series of field trips we're calling Salt Bay Sundays! For this early winter field trip, we’ll brave the cold and venture back out to Salt Bay Farm. We’ll scope the Salt Bay for Barrow’s Goldeneye and carefully scan the hedgerows in search of Northern Shrikes. We should also […]

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 […]
