Bird Time on The Coast: May 20, 2026 Registration Form

Date: May 20 (Wednesday)

Location: Owls Head Transportation Museum

Time: 7 am – 9 am 

Trip Leader: Lee Anne

This is our first time doing a walk at the amazing Owls Head Transportation Museum! Local birders know: the road and field edges on this large property are top notch for finding rare songbirds. We want to be there at peak migration to see what we turn up! Park at the end of the road in the parking lot near the museum and we will meet at the entrance. This is a primarily flat, roadside walk.

The Friends of Maine Coastal Islands (FOMCI) National Wildlife Refuge are proud to sponsor the bird watching series “Bird Time on the Coast.” This series includes local bird experts who are knowledgeable about birds in our area who lead trips to some of their favorite birding hotspots along the coast of Maine. Bird Time on the Coast is open to all birdwatching abilities from beginners to advanced. Bring your binoculars or let us know ahead of time and we will provide them for you. Waterproof footwear and insect repellent are strongly encouraged. The trips are limited in number, so please sign up early.

 Help us keep our programs running with a suggested donation of $10 for this bird tour.  If you are attending multiple walks, you can make a one-time donation of your choosing from the dropdown menu, and on subsequent walks, choose "0" since you have already made a donation. Donations go directly to supporting our seabird island interns and educational programs at the Maine Coastal Islands NWR Visitor Center!  We thank our bird leaders for volunteering their time so we can fully support our favorite wildlife refuge!

Note: If you are signing up for multiple tours, you can do a one time payment under one of the tours. Donations are non-refundable, but if you have to miss a tour we'll get you set up for another one, or one in the fall!
