November is here, and that means it's rarity season in Maine! Join us on November 9th for an exciting trip to Fort Foster in Kittery, one of the top birding spots in the state. This beautiful 88-acre site features three beaches connected by trails, plus a long pier that offers fantastic views of water birds and sights like Whaleback Lighthouse and Jerry's Point Lifesaving Station.

We'll explore the shoreline, wetlands, and wooded trails of Fort Foster, looking for lingering migrant birds and our winter visitors. And of course, we’ll keep an eye out for any rare finds! Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to enjoy birdwatching and connect with fellow teen birders!

LOGISTICS:  Dress in layers and wear comfortable walking shoes.  Bring the following: filled water bottle, a bagged lunch and snacks, sunblock, a hat, sunglasses, binoculars, camera (optional), scope (if you have one), notebook & field guide (optional), and a backpack in which you'll keep all your stuff.  If you do not have binoculars, MYBC can provide you with a pair.  

MEET UP and PICK UP: We will be meeting at 8:00am at Fort Foster on Pocahontas Road in Kittery, ME.  Please drive past the gate and park in the dirt lot on the left, just before the fort (see map). Pickup will be at 11:00am in the same spot.

Registration and carpooling details will be emailed to MYBC members. Not a member? Email us at info@maineyoungbirders.org to find out how to join!
