Here in southern Maine some of our breeding birds have already arrived, such as Red-winged blackbirds and Eastern bluebirds. Other species are still making the journey. Yet other species will pass through the region on their way north to breeding grounds. Knowing what species are present will help us with management practices for wildlife. Managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, eBird (ebird.org), is an international on-line database of bird sightings. You can enter your data or check out recent sightings from others. Keep in mind a standard tenant about finding birds, they are most active early in the morning and again later in the day closer to sunset. ~ Andrew Mackie, Scarborough Land Trust
