Hi, My 16 year old brother is coming up from Texas for a visit. I thought I'd take him to Maine this next weekend. We'll be visiting a family friend for a day in Damariscotta (just south of Camden), and then head over Bar Harbor/Acadia for some hiking/whale watching/touristy type activities. I was hoping to get some birding in. I may just stay in Bar Harbor for the shortest time possible, since I know it will be very crowded.
I've read through some great sites addressing boreal specialties and the Maine birding trail. Not surprisingly, I'll be looking for Bicknell's Thrush. Bay breasted would also be nice. I've read about Baxster State Park, but I am curious if there are other sites a little further south where I might get the two species. I'm not going to hold my breath for a three toed woodpecker. Any other birding musts would also be welcome. You guys were really helpful when I was planning my Costa Rica trip, so I thought I would take advantage of the wealth of knowledge on this list again. Many thanks. Brien -- "If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago.
