A Seven-Part Introduction to the Art and Science of Birding Led by Maine Master Naturalist Christie ConstantineAre you curious about nature? Do you want to tune into the rhythms of the world around you? Birdwatching is an enjoyable, affordable, relaxing and endlessly rewarding way to connect more deeply with the outdoors.
