rules for birding the North Berwick Rail/Utility ROW, hot spot

[A. P. Aldrich]

The Rail/Utility tril is bordered on the west by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft. About 800 feet in there is a road that goes North Westerly through an opening in the fence, onto their property, please do walk through the wide gate and onto their property .  There is a very small sign at the beginning of the trail that states that  you need permission to go onto their property.   I called PWA and asked if they could make a larger sign because birders generally like to follow the rules.  They would not give me permission, and i worked for them for about 25 years. 

              About 1.5 miles in there are tails to the left, (west) onto Perkinstown Wildlife Commons. The trail head for that is off of Thompson St, Wells

       North Berwick Rail/Utility ROW, hot spot, The parking area is plowed in the winter, whiich is nice. More information    https://ebird.org/hotspot/L3233333

        There is a good variety of habitats, woods, power lines, swamps, small steams etc

For example on May 22nd Scott Richardson had 15 warbler species and 8 bay-breasted warblers. 

Happy birding
