Join Maine Master Naturalist Volunteers to observe the diversity of birds at the Carl and Barbara Segerstrom Preserve at Squam Creek

When: Saturday, June 3 at 9:00am

Where: Carl and Barbara Segerstrom Preserve at Squam Creek

Birders of all ages are invited to KELT's Carl and Barbara Segerstrom Preserve at Squam Creek on Westport Island to scout for birds led by Maine Master Naturalist Volunteers, Jane Harrison and Kit Pfeiffer.

With a variety of habitats ranging from fields to woodlands to wetlands, Squam Creek is the perfect place to practice birding techniques. Wear boots or shoes that can get mucky and bring a pair of binoculars.

To get to Segerstrom Preserve: From Bath take Route 1 North for 6.8 miles and turn right onto Route 144. After 1 mile turn left to stay on 144 (Birch Point Road) and after another mile turn right to stay on 144. Follow for 6.5 miles then turn right onto West Shore Road. Follow across the causeway and up the hill, the parking lot is on the left. View Map.


Conservation Organizations offer series of birding walks in the Midcoast Region

One of the joys of spring is the return of birds of all shapes, sizes and colors. Who doesn’t love stepping outside to a chorus of birdsong or catching a glimpse of bright red or yellow in the trees? To help you identify and learn more about our local birds, several conservation groups collaborate each spring to offer the Birding Extravaganza!

Advance registration is required. Visit the website for each organization for more information.
