Semipalmated Sandpiper

Learn about the birds that come to Maine to breed and raise young. Practice using binoculars and spotting scopes. Compare your ‘wing span’ to that of hawks, osprey and eagles. Meet and photograph the Park’s resident bald eagle; and help color a giant bird mural. This will be a fun and educational event for the whole family. www.birdday.org
