STATE OF MAINE BIRDS

The Lewiston Public Library will host Maine Audubon staff on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, for their presentation entitled “The State of Maine Birds.” This free, public program will take place from 11 AM to 12 PM in the Jeanne Couture Room on the first floor of the library.

Bird populations in Maine are constantly changing. A total of 445 species have been recorded in Maine. Some have been here for a long time while others are new arrivals. Some came here accidentally while others were introduced and some we may never see again. This presentation covers the last few decades and discusses which species are disappearing, which are increasing, and then looks into the future to identify what the future of Maine birds might look like.

Maine Audubon works with children and adults every day to promote environmental literacy so that Mainers can become more informed and effective stewards of Maine’s wildlife and habitat.
