nighthawk

The Eastern Slopes Airport in Fryeburg, Maine, has a wonderful Pine Barrens habitat which is home to species that can be scarce in the Valley such as Prairie Warbler, Vesper Sparrow, Eastern Towhee, Eastern Whip-poor-wiil and Common Nighthawk among others. While we have a good chance of hearing and\or seeing these species at dusk, our target will the Common Nighthawk show where, with luck, we experience the “peenting” and “booming” of the nighthawks in action overhead, often at close range. When birding, nothing is guaranteed, but we have a good chance!

This will be pop-up event depending upon the weather. We anticipate it to be held sometime July 8-17
