Fort Foster, located in Kittery, is one of the premiere birding destinations in Maine.  Located in Portsmouth Harbor, the 88 acre site includes 3 beaches with a trail system that connects the beaches together. A long pier extends off shore providing excellent platform for viewing water birds off shore as wells as views of Whaleback Lighthouse and Jerry's Point Lifesaving Station.

We will explore the habitats of Fort Foster, searching for the beaches and trails for any lingering migrant birds and our returning winter visitors. We will, of course, keep our eyes peeled for any rarities that might be hanging around.
