Product Description
Birding Maine presents well-known and not-so-well known sites, including many that have never appeared in any other publication.
Birding Maine details how and when to bird each site, and gives aside and anecdotal information on nearby places of interest, as well as the nearest stores, restaurants and campsites.
Back Cover Copy
From the seacoast to the mountains, from urban settings to woodlands, Maine’s diverse habitats are home to equally diverse bird species. Birding Maine recommends how and when to bird each site and provides information on nearby places of interest, as well as area stores, restaurants, accommodations, and campsites—everything you need to extend a day of birding into a full-fledged adventure.
Discover rockbound Pemaquid and Schoodic Points where sea- and shorebirds abound, including King Eider and Purple Sandpiper. Just outside Brewer, wander the Fields Pond Audubon Center, where nearly 150 species have been seen—from Bald Eagle to Eastern Bluebird. Be still and listen for the haunting cry of Common Loon at Unity Pond, Lily Bay State Park, or Moose Point State Park. Birding Maine is a quintessential resource for anyone interested in spending time in the Maine outdoors. Inside you’ll find:
• Accurate bird-finding information for the entire state—from the Atlantic seacoast to the fields of central Maine to the waterways of the north woods
• Resting spots for migrating eastern species, a huge assortment of waterbirds, plus many specialties such as Harlequin Duck and Pileated Woodpecker
• A description of each site, with information about key species
• When to go, how to get there, what you’ll see, and whether a site is wheelchair accessible
• Nearby sites that can be combined with primary sites to create a full day of birding
Reader ReviewsI was excited when I pre-ordered this new book! After getting it I am quite dissapointed. No mention of Machias Seal Island where Puffin watching (and lots of other birds) is truly amazing. I Didn't see anything on Mt. Desert Island where I have observed eagles, loons, and many more birds. Paper quality not very good. I just feel that this was a quickly done, poor quality attempt to cover the state of Maine but it didn't quite make it for me!!
