From deep evergreen woods and interior lakes, fields and farmlands, to
world famous beaches and rocky shorelines, Maine is a paradise for
birds. Over 450 species are recorded in the state and because it's ideal
for both migrating birds in the fall and spring as well as year-long
residents, birders can see a multitude of species in every season. Maine
has many sanctuaries, wildlife preserves, and local parks and both the
spectacular Baxter State Park and the staggeringly beautiful Acadia
State Park on Mt. Desert Island. All of these factors combine to make
Maine a premiere state for both birds and birders. This new field guide
