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.
