Hello from California!

I'll be staying with friends in North Belgrade, between Waterville and Augusta, the week of July 7-13, and am looking forward to seeing some east coast birds. Before I strike out on my own, I was wondering if anyone here knows of any scheduled bird walks or field trips anywhere near there during that week. Thanks!

Hello Chris,

As the correspondent for the Augusta Birding Club I encourage you to check out good local birding spots on our website here.

You'll be quite close to the Messalonskee Lake site and none of the others is far away.

I'm sorry that we don't have any organized trips planned while you are here.

eBird will be a great resource of course and one of our members created a Kennebec County checklist that will give you an idea of seasons and regularity of occurrence.

You may also hear directly from individuals who are birding as a result of your posting here.

Hope you have a great time!

Hey Cathie, this is great! Thanks so much! Gonna try to hit a lot of the spots from your website. Would love to find a Black-billed Cuckoo, and I've heard there might be a Northern Goshawk somewhere in my neighborhood. Can't wait to get there!
