[Maine-birds] Date Change: SM Bird monitoring August 25 9-12

Date change: Our second bird monitoring day of the year is now on August 25 from 9-12 at Scarborough Marsh.  We will be doing  a marsh-wide survey of birds to document the numbers of individuals and species.  Timed to catch the shorebird migration, each group of monitors will be assigned a portion of the marsh to survey.  Depending on the assignment, surveys may be done on foot, by car or from a canoe (provided at the marsh or bring your own).  Beginning birders welcome!  They will go out with experienced monitors. 
 
The morning will start with a brief introduction after that monitors will disburse to their assigned sections.  Actual surveys may last up to several hours (depending on location surveyed).
