A Chapter of Maine Audubon
Join us as we venture to Burkett Mill Preserve in search of Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Palm Warbler, and other birds that are rare breeders in the mid-coast region! The 362-acre preserve owned by Midcoast Conservancy contains a mosaic of different natural communities, with varying terrain of ledges and marshes. Due to limited parking at the preserve, […]
This field trip is perfect for new birders and those who prefer an easy outing. We’ll spend most of our time watching feeders, just a short walk from the parking lot. Feel free to bring a chair for added comfort! If you’re curious about birding but unsure where to start, or if longer walks aren’t […]

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 […]

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! […]
