SUMMARY:Field Trip: Green Point Wildlife Area\, Dresden
DESCRIPTION:A former orchard and farm\, Green Point Wildlife Management Area in Dresden sits at the confluence of the Eastern and Kennebec Rivers. This midcoast birding hotspot hosts a variety of habitats including hayfields and an old orchard\, riverside floodplain forest\, wetlands\, and pine grove. We expect to see a wide variety of birds on this field trip such as Yellow-rumped Warblers\, Palm Warblers\, and Ruby-crowned Kinglets\, a variety of sparrows\, plus thrushes\, blackbirds and waterfowl. We recommend sturdy shoes and long pants\, and some blaze orange for this outing. \nBecause parking is very limited at the wildlife area\, we strongly recommend carpooling.  \nDirections: On Route 128 (aka River Road) in Dresden\, .8 mile north of the intersection of Indian Road and Route 128. There are two parking lots for Green Point. Please park at the MDIFW maintenance building (large green building with a white door and roof) on the west side of road (coordinates: 44.05753\, -69.77290). \nThis trip will be led by Will Broussard and Alan Phipps. Please register for this trip by email midcoastfieldtrips at maineaudubon.org with your name and phone number. Registering gives us an idea of how many people will be attending and a way to contact you if we need to cancel or reschedule.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Sabattus Pond

From October until freeze-up\, regulars include Mallards\, American Black Ducks\, Ruddy Ducks\, Hooded Mergansers\, Common Goldeneye\, Green-winged Teals\, American Wigeons\, Northern Pintails\, Ring-necked Ducks\, both species of scaup\, and American Coots. We often see some interesting songbirds\, and a few raptors. \nWe'll meet at the boat ramp at the south end at 8 am (524 Sabattus Road\, coordinates: 44.11911° N\, 70.09320° W). We typically stop at several sites around the pond to view the whole pond. Participants should dress warmly. \nThis trip will be led by Will Broussard.
