The Acadia Birding Festival is Maine’s premiere bird watching festival and was established in 1998.
Group at Indian Point Blagden Preserve
This year, the Festival is from 28-31 May, plus two post-festival trips on 1-2 June, and over these days it visits 27 different birding locations.
Our first visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens at Boothbay was most certainly worth the effort. The location is about an hour north of Portland, ME, and three hours north of Boston, MA.
This isn’t an article/text blog so hopefully I’m just going to let my photographs speak for themselves:
