[Maine-birds] Scarborough Marsh Bird Survey

Just a reminder that we will be having our bird monitoring this Saturday at Scarborough Marsh from 7-10. We have seen an increase in bird numbers this week and hopefully we will find the Little Egret again or maybe the Tricolored/snowy egret.  You do have the opportunity to birds from one of our canoes or you can go by foot.

Give us a call at 883-5100 for more details.

Thanks You, Linda

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 21 and August 18 from 7- 10 for our fourth annual marsh-wide survey of birds at Scarborough Marsh  The survey will document the numbers of individuals and species present in the marsh.  Depending on the assignment, surveys could last between 1-3 hours and 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).  

For more information and to register, contact call 883-5100 or e-mail smac@maineaudubon.org.
 
This volunteer monitoring project is made possible through a grant from Together Green. Audubon and Toyota came together to create TogetherGreen to fund volunteer projects all over the United States. TogetherGreen volunteers have contributed many hours of their time to making the world a greener, healthier place for all of us.  Check out TogetherGreen.org to find more ways you can help and to start logging your conservation actions.
