BANGOR DAILY NEWS • April 28, 2022
This is the weekend when lots of songbirds start flooding back into Maine. Our neotropical migrants are about to get wicked noisy, defending territories and wooing mates. Concurrently, there will be bird walks, festivals and tours aplenty to take advantage of breeding season. But for all those folks who wish somebody would come up with a do-it-yourself guide, I’m happy to report that somebody already did. After a decade of exploring, it occurred to me that I should probably share the results of my adventures. That led to development of the Maine Birding Trail, a tool you can use this spring to plan your own do-it-yourself adventures. I’ll confess privately that you don’t need to buy the book. Most of its content is free online at MaineBirdingTrail.com. Don’t let that secret leave the room. ~ Bob Duchesne
