MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 17, 2020
Six passionate birders from Maine scurried at a mad pace from 3 a.m. to well after dark last weekend – first in snow, then in rain and gusting wind – while competing as a team against some of the nation’s best in the World Series of Birding. The annual event requires a team of birders to identify as many species as possible in 24 hours. The Maine Audubon team ended up with 138 – a score that ties for eighth on the American Birding Association’s all-time best for Maine.
