Birding at Thorne Head
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, but advance registration is required. Visit the website for each organization for more information.

Join KELT land protection specialist and birding enthusiast Anna Christie-Carnicella on Saturday, May 7th from 8:30-10:30AM for an exciting and interactive program on birding phone applications. This is a program designed for beginner birders!
The program will start in the KELT conference room in downtown Bath and will conclude with a short stroll at the Thorne Head Preserve. At KELT's office, Christie-Carnicella will lead participants through the process of downloading and configuring the Merlin Bird ID and eBird applications, both from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, before discussing how to best use both in the field. Participants will then head to the Thorne Head Preserve in Bath to try out the applications in the field. We'll watch and listen carefully--keeping an eye and ear out for migrants that are still passing through--and learn something along the way!
Anna Christie-Carnicella has held various roles at KELT since she found her way to the organization in 2015. She currently serves as KELT’s land protection specialist and when not in the woods showing off her impressive amateur birding abilities, she spends her days immersed in the details of land projects.
