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.

Join us for an exploratory walk at one of Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust’s newer preserves, Tarbox Preserve. John Berry is leading this trip on an open, mixed forested trail for the first time and we’ll see what kinds of birds frequent the area in May. The mile long trail leads to a lovely overlook of the Cathance River. John is a sharp eyed, experienced birder and photographer.

Organized by Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust.
