Want to do some birding at Maine's premier birding spot and help gather data on Maine's first Important Bird Area?
Join us on July 22 from 6:30 - 10:30 and August 26 from 7-10 at Scarborough Marsh for a marsh-wide survey of birds to document the numbers of individuals and species. Timed to catch the beginning of 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 to the marsh and the survey methods. After that, monitors will disburse to their assigned sections, and actual surveys may last up to several hours (depending on location surveyed).
Help us survey the habitat around the Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center for plants and insects on Sunday August 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.! Our day will begin with an orientation and participants will be divided into groups which will focus on either plants, butterflies, or other insects. Each group will have a knowledgeable leader and materials will be provided to aid in identification and recording data. Beginners are welcome! Please email smac@maineaudubon.org or call 883-5100 for more information or to sign up for this event!
For more information and to register, call 883-5100 or e-mail smac@maineaudubon.org.
Please help us by forwarding this to anyone think might by interested.
Thank You, Linda
Linda Woodard II Maine Audubon
Director of Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center
