Bird enthusiasts will count on it to lead them to the best birding locations in Maine and to list the species they will most likely find at each destination.

Residents of Maine and any bound for a visit who are avid birders will welcome this official guide to over 260 accessible sites offering prime birding locales across the state. From beaches and coastlines to valleys, lakes and mountains, this explores the new Maine Birding Trail and points the way to prime observation destinations. It comes from a Maine State Representative and an avid birder who helped promote the creation of the Maine Birding Trail and is a pick for any travel or nature collection.
I like the format of the book. It's broken into sections of the state and then highlights tourist areas where birds can be founds but also highlights some of the lesser known out of the way areas. Many winter birds are highlighted and I found that pretty interesting as we usually focus on those that migrate here for the summer and forget about those that migrate here for the winter. It naturally has to miss many areas, but I think it's a great addtition to the library of any Maine birder or for anyone who plans to do birding in Maine.
This book is an expanded version of a very nice pamphlet by the same author you can get for free from the Maine Dep't of tourism web site. The book contains more birding sites, and better maps (actually, the maps are really detailed and the best part of the book). I just returned from a 2 week birding trip to Maine, where I used the book every day... the information was accurate and easy to use. Bob really knows where the birds are, and if you go birding in Maine without this book, you're a fool.Several suggestions to make it better: Road directions don't always contain addresses or nearest intersection, making it difficult to navigate by GPS on several occasions. Lat/Lons would be nice. Also, there are over 200 sites described...The information contained in each site description is usually enough to figure out the habitat, and which birds are likely there. I realize that everyone is looking for something different, and this is asking a lot, but a 'ranking' of some sort would be nice.
My husband and I are enjoying reading all the hot spots for birding. We'll visit Maine this year, and this book is helping us plan our trip.
Birding in Maine just got better with this little booklet. It is not a field guide of birds found in Maine but rather a guide to the "hot spots" where a diversity of birds can be found. Helpful for the novice and advanced birder alike.
HI!This is indeed a very helpful book for an avid bird lover, or for any of us who are devoted to the great pird population.I did have a previous review on here.....I do not know what happened.YOU need this book, please!A DOWNEAST MAINAH!
This was invaluable on our birding trip to Maine. Many of the places along the coast recommended in the book we visited. It was helpful planning our trip for each day.
Exceptional resource and when used with the web site you are on top of the latest information.
