Dear Fellow Birders -
The National Audubon Society has opened registration for their
legendary 6-day birding programs for adults, teens and families at the
historic Audubon Camp in Maine on Hog Island. Pete Dunne, Scott
Weidensaul, Steve Kress, Lang Elliott, Don Kroodsma, Bill Thompson III
and many more expert ornithologists, naturalists, educators and
authors will be in residence during the 2012 sessions.
Hog Island Audubon Camp is run by the Seabird Restoration Program
(Project Puffin) of the National Audubon Society. All summer programs
include field trips to nearby Eastern Egg Rock, where Dr. Steve Kress
and his team of biologists have successfully restored an island colony
of Atlantic Puffins, and Roseate, Arctic and Common Terns. Immerse
yourself in the joy of birding with expert-led workshops, lively
evening presentations, saltwater birding tours and trips to diverse
habitats on the Maine coast. Roger Tory Peterson was the camp's first
birding instructor in 1936 and many of America's finest naturalists,
including Rachel Carson, have spent time on the 330-acre wildlife
sanctuary, located in mid-coast Maine, on Muscongus Bay. Participants
live in restored wooden buildings dating back to the early 1900's and
are treated to three fabulous meals each day, prepared by chef
extraordinaire Janii Laberge.
