[Maine-birds] Bird data needed for Cobscook Bay Area IBA nomination

The Fundy chapter of Maine Audubon is putting together a nomination for a Cobscook Bay Region Important Bird Area (IBA), to be submitted to Maine Audubon at the end of August. We know our region is rich in birds, but we are not rich in data about birds--yet. And we need that data to support the nomination.

We'll be focusing on these sites:

Moosehorn NWR (both divisions)
West Quoddy Head State Park
Boot Head Preserve
South Lubec Mud Flats
Blueberry Barrens near Cherryfield

While we will be looking at eBird records, we recognize that many birders don't submit to eBird. If you have bird counts for the above sites that you'd be willing to share for this effort, please contact me.

In particular, if you are birding the mud flats during shorebird migration this season, I encourage you to submit your counts to eBird or, if you prefer not to, send me your counts. I can say that we're beginning to see shorebirds there and elsewhere in Lubec.

Good birding,
