Description

This unique tour gets a major upgrade in 2012. It's the perfect place & time for birding by ear. It's easier to remember bird vocalizations when you can actually watch them sing. Participants will receive audio materials prior to the tour to make it easier to learn the songs in the field. 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. 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). For information about the itinerary, conditions and target birds, contact the guide, Bob Duchesne, at duchesne@midmaine.com or 207-827-3782.
