[Maine-birds] Sunset Puffin Cruise and Sharp-tailed Sparrow Workshop

MAINE AUDUBON PRESENTS:

Sunset Puffin Cruise 

  • Saturday, July 12, 2014 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
  • Location: New Harbor, ME
  • Members: $35 Non-members: $5

This popular evening boat ride sails out of New Harbor to Eastern Egg Rock, where we will circle the island several times for great views of puffins, terns, and other seabirds. The boat returns to the harbor at sunset to combine birding and a lovely summer evening on the Maine coast.


Sharp-tailed Sparrow Workshop and Field Trip

  • Saturday July 19, 2014 8:00 am – 10:00 am
  • Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center
  • Members: $10 - Non-members: $13
Join Maine Audubon naturalist Doug Hitchcox to unravel the complexities of sharp-tailed sparrow identification. We will spend a little time inside looking at photos (birds in the field and while banding, including hybrids!) then go out for a field trip along the Eastern Trail and see them ourselves. This is a can’t-miss opportunity for anyone interested in sharp-tailed sparrows, and will give all a special chance to learn more about and view these rare birds.

Call 207-883-5100 to register.
