Description

Warblers, moose and many unusual boreal birds share the spotlight on this weekend adventure into Maine's working forest. Moosehead Lake is located in the transition zone between the southern hardwood and northern boreal forests, which explains the extraordinary variety of wildlife that can be found here. You'll spend two days in the field dodging moose and looking for over 20 species of warblers. Difficult target birds include Spruce Grouse, Black-backed Woodpecker, Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee and Lincoln's Sparrow. Possible warblers include Mourning, Bay-breasted, Cape May and Blackpoll. Olive-sided and Yellow-bellied flycatchers are probable. This tour includes two night's lodging, all meals from Saturday morning thru Sunday afternoon, two full days of guided birding into many of the area's secret hot spots, led by the founder of the Maine Birding Trail, Bob Duchesne, and local transportation by van. The tour begins at the lodge with a Friday evening social and birding-by-ear workshop. It ends Sunday afternoon around 5 PM. The birding tour price is $140/person plus room cost. Rooms and rates vary. You can go to the Evergreen Lodge's website to view guest rooms and choose the room that best meets your needs. To reserve your tour and lodging call 1-888-624-3993 (toll-free in USA).
