Derek Lovitch's newly published guide to birdfinding in Maine

Posted Apr 28, 2017 by Rich Hoyer

WINGS leader Derek Lovitch is the lead editor of a newly published book titled Birdwatching in Maine: A Site Guide. This is a great new resource for finding birds throughout this beautiful state. The state’s wealth of undeveloped land and its extensive coastline, countless islands, and varied habitat combine to host an impressive diversity of birds at all times of year. Birders travel to Maine from near and far to seek hard-to-find species, from the only Atlantic puffins breeding in the United States on offshore islands to Bicknell’s thrushes high in the mountains.

Derek leads two tours for WINGS to this region of the US; Maine Coast in Fall and Maine and New Hampshire.
