KCT Spring Bird Walks
Get outdoors and enjoy the sights and sounds of spring by spending
time with the birds! Join naturalist and birder Josh Fecteau for 4
weeks of guided bird walks at properties protected by the
Kennebunkport Conservation Trust.
April and May mark the wondrous arrival of many migrant birds in
southern Maine. From shorebirds, fycatchers, and warblers to
sparrows, hawks, and ducks, the bird data we collect will be
submitted to eBird and will help inform the KCT's future land
management decisions.
Binoculars are recommended, but birding without them is good fun,
too! Novice birders welcome.
