Winter is the best season for seeing birds in Belfast Harbor. Maine gets several arctic species coming down “south” here for better eating. Many of our resident birds are also here.
The Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition invites you to drop in at the Belfast Footbridge where Ron Harrell and Gary Gulezian lead a bird watch. From February through April, on the second Saturday of each month, they will be at the footbridge at 8:30 am with telescopes to show people whatever birds are in the harbor area and answer questions. They will be available for about 2 hours, depending on the bird activity present. Bring personal binoculars and dress appropriately for the weather. The next Saturday opportunities to watch: March 12 and April 9.
