[Maine-birds] Join us for a virtual Birds of Maine book launch on Dec. 3

We hope you can join us on Dec. 3 for a celebration of Maine birds and Maine birders.


I hope you've heard about the publication of Birds of Maine, the comprehensive new overview of Maine birdlife authored by the late Peter Vickery. A team of birders and loved ones banded together when Peter passed away in 2017 to bring the book across the finish line.


On Dec. 3 at 7pm Maine Audubon is hosting a virtual book launch to celebrate the life of Peter Vickery and the completion of Birds of Maine. The event is free to join.


Speaking at the event will be a host of luminaries directly involved in the production of Birds of Maine, including:

  • Barbara Vickery, Peter's life partner and former conservation biologist for TNC

  • Scott Weidensaul, author of more than 30 books on birds and nature

  • Jeff Wells, National Audubon Society

  • Bill Sheehan, ME Dept. of Environmental Protection

  • Charles Duncan, Shorebird Recovery Project


Please register here for this free event, where we'll raffle off a free copy of the book and also raise a toast to Peter and the team at the end.
  

Good birding,
Nick
