boreal birding weekend

Welcome to the Boreal Birding Weekend:

A Center for Wildlife Regional EcoTour

This is a 2-day learning adventure takes place in a remote, stunning part of New England, on the southern edge of the Boreal Forest habitat - aka “North America’s baby bird factory.” Late June is rich with blooming plants, pollinating insects and hungry birds. We'll spend time seeking out bird life in a variety of habitats including: spruce-fir forests; open grasslands & working farms; coldwater ponds & lakes. Most bird species are already busy with families in late June, making them more visible as they tend to nests, eggs and nestlings. 

..

Birds we'll be seeking out include Boreal specialties such as: Canada Jay, Boreal Chickadee, Spruce Grouse, Black-Backed Woodpecker and Bicknell's Thrush. Likely species include many types of warblers, flycatchers, sparrows, finches and loons, herons and songbirds. Beyond birds, we hope to get a glimpse of a moose or two along the way as well.
