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.
Bobolink Walk at Woodward Point Preserve
Hosted by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust
Join Maeve McGowan of Ag Allies and Maine Coast Heritage Trust for an interactive birding walk and talk to learn about bobolinks and the other grassland birds that inhabit Woodward Point preserve.
The extensive meadows of this former saltwater farm are home to a healthy population of bobolinks, estimated to be around eighty birds in the summer.
The walk will be led by Maeve McGowan of Ag Allies who will share her knowledge of the natural history, breeding behavior, and conservation trends of Maine’s remarkable grassland birds.
