In 2025, I resolve to see more new birds. Feel free to make that your resolution, too. Everybody can see new birds, even experts. It’s just a matter of knowing where to look. The best part is that inexperienced birders can see a lot more new birds than experts can. Almost any bird beyond your backyard bird feeder might be new. Intermediate birders can add a new life list bird today, although it might require driving somewhere. That’s the secret to Maine. Our state has so many different habitats, a new bird can be found in any direction. It’s possible to find at least 300 birds in Maine during the year. ~ Bob Duchesne
