Bird Watchers Wanted
If you enjoy watching birds, I encourage you to share your sightings to help guide Maine's future bird conservation efforts! Every bird sighting counts, even the birds in your backyard. And, one of the beautiful things about birding in Maine is that you will find birds anywhere you go. You can enjoy birds from the comfort of your home, on a hike, cross-country skiing, or on you next outing wherever it may be! As you begin to pay more attention to birds, it is amazing to see how many species you may have never noticed before. In fact, Maine is home to more than 191 wintering bird species. The winter Atlas season is December 14 - March 15, so they are calling on you to join them now!
Tonight, 12/9, at 6:30 p.m. join the Maine Bird Atlas Coordinator, Glen Mittelhauser, and Project Director, Adrienne Leppold, and Outreach Coordinator, Doug Hitchcox, virtually to learn about Atlas project updates from the last breeding season and the past winter effort, goals for this winter, how you can participate, helpful tools, and to ask your questions. Click here to join the Zoom meeting.*
- You can also visit the Maine Bird Atlas website to learn how to share your sightings.
- *The Zoom link is also provided on their Calendar of Events.
I hope you can join this terrific citizen science effort. If you do not live in Maine see if your state has an Atlas project by checking with your state Department of Wildlife or Audubon chapter.
Happy Birding!
