Bird Time on The Coast: May 6, 2026 Registration Form

Date: May 6 (Wednesday)

Location: Clark Island

Time: 7 am – 9 am 

Trip Leaders: Lee Anne & Kate

This is one of our favorite locations! We often find over 40 species of birds on our Clark Island walks. Clark Island is partly owned by Maine Coast Heritage Trust and has a nice flat hiking trail that runs through the mixture of different upland habitats on the island. As a result, expect the unexpected this time of year when just about anything can show up during spring migration. Park and meet at the designated preserve parking behind the Craignair Inn, carpool if you can as there are limited spots!

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!
