Column: This is the best time of year to see migrating birds in the Gulf of Maine

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 10, 2021

A funny thing happens in the Gulf of Maine this time of year. A whole bunch of northern birds are heading south for the winter. Meanwhile, a whole bunch of southern birds have come north, waiting for winter to end in the southern hemisphere. When the southbound birds meet the northbound birds, it’s a wonder there aren’t head-on collisions. They all have one thing in common: They like seafood. While you’re looking for all these birds, enjoy the whales. ~ Bob Duchesne
