Maine is undertaking a statewide survey of wintering birds for the first time. The state is updating its Maine Bird Atlas project, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife said Wednesday. The atlas is a statewide citizen science project that tracks bird species in the state. Maine is home to more than 190 wintering bird species, the wildlife department said. The department said it’s looking for residents to share information about bird sightings by reporting them online.
