Mid-Coast Audubon Series: “Birds of Maine” Editors’ Talk on New Book

The first comprehensive overview of Maine’s incredibly rich bird life in more than seven decades, Birds of Maine by Peter Vickery is a detailed account of all 464 species recorded in the Pine Tree State. Co-editors Barbara Vickery and Scott Weidensaul will discuss what the authors/collaborators found in terms of changes in Maine’s bird life over the past 70 years.

This free online presentation is part of the library’s winter series in partnership with Mid-Coast Audubon. Please email jpierce@librarycamden.org to request a Zoom link to attend.

Written by the late Peter Vickery in cooperation with a team of leading ornithologists, this guide offers a detailed look at the state’s dynamic avifauna with information on migration patterns and timing, current status and changes in bird abundance and distribution, and how Maine’s geography and shifting climate mold its bird life.
