[Maine-birds] Re: Captain Fitzgerald Preserve, Brunswick

Hi Steve;

Thanks for this  heads-up.  I've birded the other side of the quarry pools, following the powerline, and agree the area has vast potential for birds.
But there's a freakin' huge barrier across the road (Lindbergh Landing) as the woods begin.  I'm a little chary of crossing things like that in Maine (although there are no signs prohibiting it). 
OK to leave truck here and walk in??

It also looks like it gets heavy impact from Off-Roaders, eh?

Thanks again for the tip.  I can always use a new patch.

best
mike

Hi folks,

If you are looking for a "new" patch to bird in the Brunswick area, I recommend the recently opened Captain Fitzgerald Preserve at the end of Lindbergh Landing (aka Wilderness Way on Google Earth) off of the Old Bath Road.  The site is 60+ acres of sandplain reminiscent of the Kennebunk Plains.  The town is now working on a management plan to restore grassland characteristics.  I was on a site walk this a.m. and had a great diversity of migrating passerines.  No show stoppers, but a vesper sparrow was unexpected. 

Best,

Steve W.
