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? The new warmth of spring and the longer days draws birds to make their spring migration. The window of time before the leaves come out provides a perfect opportunity to get a good look at our spring migrants. To help you identify and learn more about our local birds, several conservation groups collaborate each spring to offer the Birding Extravaganza!

All events are free and open to all. Advance registration is required and each organization follows COVID-19 policies to keep everyone safe. Visit the website for each organization for more information.

Jan Pierson will guide us on an informative and fun bird walk through several Crystal Spring Farm habitats as we observe a variety of spring arrivals already on territory, from Bobolinks and swallows to warblers and sparrows, as well as keep an eye and ear out for migrants that are still passing through. We’ll watch and listen carefully, and learn something along the way. Bring your binocs, a hat, and some sturdy walking shoes. Organized by Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust.
