14th Annual Down East Spring Birding Festival

Join us over Memorial Day Weekend in Down East Maine's beautiful Cobscook Bay Area for a unique birding experience during spring migration and the breeding season. The Festival offers four days of guided hikes, boat tours, and presentations with experienced local guides. Our great variety of habitats are home to a great diversity of species -- boreal and northern hardwood forests, bogs, fresh- and salt-water marshes, grassy and shrubby fields, streams and lakes, steep rugged headlands, extensive tidal flats, and coastal islands. Bird in Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, Roosevelt Campobello International Park, Quoddy Head State Park, Machias Seal Island (Atlantic Puffin nesting grounds), and more! Come see why eastern coastal Maine has been identified as "one of the important bird areas in the US" by the American Bird Conservancy, and why the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife has named the Down East Spring Birding Festival one of the best in the country.

Tips for Registering:

We recommend pulling up the Festival Schedule in a separate tab, if you'd like to reference event descriptions while you're registering.

Events with Additional Fees: Most events on the schedule are included with your registration fee; however, a few of the events have an additional fee (the boat trips, the all-day van trip, the dinner events, and the Burn Road hike). On the main registration page, these events are listed BOTH in the drop-down menus for each day, AND at the bottom, with photos, as "Additional Items" - in order to get your name on the list, as well as add the cost of those events to your registration total, you need to be sure to select them in both places! Thanks!

Waiting Lists for Full Events: Most of the birding trips are limited to a certain number of participants. If the event you want is full, please call us at 207-733-2233 to be placed on a wait list.
