Join us for an MYBC outing on September 18th at Gilsland Farms There is a diverse habitat to explore with trails that wind through meadows, woodlands, a pond and along the shore of the Presumpscot River estuary. Abundant woodland and shrubs attract fall migrating birds, while the adjacent tidal flats support large flocks of feeding shorebirds.

We will meet in the parking lot of Gilsland Farms by the Maine Audubon Visitor Center at 8 AM and bird until 12 PM. Due to COVID-19, we will not be able to carpool. All attendees must bring a mask or face covering. MYBC will have extra masks on hand if you do not have one.

LOGISTICS:  Dress in layers and wear comfortable walking shoes.  Bring the following: filled water bottle or two, snacks, a bagged lunch, sunblock, hat, socks, waterproof hiking boots, etc., binoculars, camera (optional), scope (if you have/want one), notebook & field guide (optional), and a backpack in which you'll keep all your stuff.  If you do not have binoculars, MYBC will provide you with a pair. Also note mosquitoes and ticks are prevalent at this location. Bug spray and proper tick prevention procedures are critical.
