The Fields Pond Journal is our most important tool for alerting Penobscot Valley Chapter members about the many Maine Audubon programs, events, and field trips we’ve planned for you. But, like everyone else, we are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. If you would like to discontinue receiving a printed copy, we would be pleased to send you an email alert whenever the new Fields Pond Journal is posted here to the website. |
Chapter Field Trip - Downeast "Surf & Turf" Extraordinary weather and terrific birding accompanied 13 PVC birders downeast August 20-22, 2010. Day One began at Fields Pond and crested at Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge when a family of otters cavorted along the stream bank. Day Two featured a visit to Campobello, where multiple Finback Whales entertained, surrounded by a zillion Great and Sooty Shearwaters. Then it was off to some excellent shorebirding at South Lubec Sandflats, including White-rumped and Pectoral Sandpipers. From there, a visit to see Spruce Grouse along the Boot Head Trail proved successful. Day Three's destination was the boreal forest in Topsfield. We tallied Boreal Chickadees within minutes and Gray Jays a short time later. Both a male and a female Black-backed Woodpecker turned up precisely where they were supposed to be. Finally, two male Spruce Grouses gave us a clean sweep of the target species for the day. |
