I'm looking for a few experienced birders with a sense of adventure to help me knock off a priority block or two for the Maine Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) in remote areas around Jackman. A Jackman summer resident has offered us the use of his camp on Crocker Pond, with beds (singles and pull-out sofas) to sleep six and floor space for up to four more. He has also offered his canoes and kayak to allow us to explore regions with no road access. (Please bring your own paddle and life jacket, if you are a skilled paddler who would enjoy birding via lakes and streams as well as on land.) Arrive after noon on Thursday, June 27 to get settled into the camp and plot your route. Early arrivers can start right in exploring the selected priority block on Thursday afternoon if they wish. Friday through Sunday, June 28-30, our days will start very early as we head out, either in groups of two or as individuals, to look for evidence of breeding birds in all of the different habitats within priority blocks in the Jackman grid. All meals and snacks will be provided. On Monday, July 1, we will pack up to return home – possibly with one last birding foray on the way, if time permits. If you can only come for part of the scheduled four-day time window, that's OK too – every hour of birding counts toward our goal. Interested birders can contact me offline for more details. Thanks!
