A Chapter of Maine Audubon
You never know what will turn up at Weskeag Marsh in August, but in recent years we’ve found Stilt Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpiper, Tricolored Heron, and Little Blue Heron among many other exciting birds! This 1,300-acre complex, one of Maine’s best birding marshes located in South Thomaston, features a mix of salt, brackish, and freshwater habitats, […]
Join us as we explore one of the Mid-Coast’s best-kept birding secrets! This location looks like many other power line right-of-ways, but has a unique tendency to attract migrating warblers, vireos, and other songbirds in unbelievable numbers (see, for example, this eBird checklist). Timing is key, but we’re hopeful for a warbler fallout, which we've […]
We will have a table with information, hats, and bird houses at the Sept. 14 Wild Ones Native Plant Celebration & Plant Sale. This event is organized by Wild Ones of Midcoast Maine at the Camden Amphitheater from 9 am to 1 pm. Fall is the perfect time to add some native plants to your […]
**This field trip is full!** Monhegan Island during fall migration — need we say more? Lace up your walking shoes and join us for an unforgettable whirlwind tour of Monhegan Island, located 10 miles off the coast of Maine. This renowned mid-coast migrant trap is a magnet for migrating warblers and other songbirds. We'll also […]
Fall migration will be in full swing, and we’ll say “au revoir” to warblers stopping over on their long journey south. 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! […]
Join conservation biologist Geri Vistein, in person at the Camden Library, as she takes you on a journey to discover who this important and resilient carnivore is, in a way you have never heard before. But this presentation is all about us as well, since we share the landscape and our lives with Coyote. Because […]
Join us as we explore the varied habitats of Coastal River Conservation Trust's Salt Bay Farm. We’ll focus on migrating sparrows and blackbirds, hoping to pick off species like Lincoln’s Sparrow or Rusty Blackbird, as well as the last of the warblers for the year. On the right day, this hotspot can yield over 50 […]
Join us for a visit to Sabattus Pond as we look over the extensive flocks of south-bound ducks. Sabattus Pond is remarkable in autumn when water levels draw down, exposing extensive mud flats and attracting large concentrations of migrating waterfowl. From October until freeze-up, regulars include Mallards, American Black Ducks, Ruddy Ducks, Hooded Mergansers, Common […]

Pre-ordered seed will be available for pick up on Saturday, November 8, 10 a.m. to noon at the location you specified […]
