[Maine-birds] Maine Bird Atlas - New Wetlands Available for Adoption! Volunteers Needed!

Although there are still a few more weeks before the Maine Winter Bird Atlas' survey window closes, in just a few months our wetlands will fully thaw and our herons, bitterns, and rails will begin their northern flights back to their breeding grounds here in Maine. 

After a successful first season of surveys, the Atlas' Secretive Marsh Bird Project has just added a great number of wetland survey sites all throughout the state. We are currently seeking volunteers to adopt and monitor these wetlands for secretive wetland bird species during the 2020 field season. 

Here is a link to the project site with project info and a map of all the available wetlands: https://www.mainenaturalhistory.org/mebirdatlas-marshbirdsurveys. Click on any marsh of interest with the map for details on accessibility. While some wetlands can be easily accessed from the roadside, others will require a short hike or paddle. The level of adventure is up to you! 

Act fast if you are interested in a particular marsh as these may be adopted quickly! Contact me at logan@hereinthewild.com to adopt your wetland and to receive more information regarding this exciting project. 

Happy birding and enjoy this weather!

Logan
