About
Birdwatching in Maine is an adventure. There are so many different places to go and birds to see. This is where the sandy beach becomes the rocky coast. It's where the southern hardwood forest transitions into the northern boreal forest. Tides rise up to 24 feet. Mountains rise up to a mile. Maine is home to Acadia National Park, the only national park in the northeast. The North Maine Woods is uninhabited timberland, with logging roads leading to wild rivers and pristine lakes.
The Gulf of Maine is abnormally cold and nutrient-rich. Whales and birds come from all over the world to feed in late summer. Atlantic puffins breed on five offshore islands. Downeast Maine is home to spruce grouse, black-backed woodpeckers, Canada jays, and boreal chickadees.
Be advised, Maine gets a bit wild. See the adventures, and learn where and how to bird Maine for yourself. Beware of moose. Enjoy the lobsters.
