Penobscot Valley Chapter Field Trip: FDR’s Campobello!
Grab your passport for two nights at the Roosevelt estate on beautiful Campobello Island. We’ll sit on the cliffs of the Campobello lighthouse and watch for passing whales, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Bonaparte’s, Gulls and Northern Gannets. We’ll scan for migrating hawks from atop observation platforms in Roosevelt International Park. We’ll scour the beaches in Lubec for unusual shorebirds and try our luck for Razorbills at Quoddy Head State Park. Daily activities will be arranged in morning and afternoon modules for those who may want some time to write, stroll the grounds, or relax on the porch. Departs from Fields Pond Audubon Center.
