NORWAY — Western Foothills Land Trust will host its 36th annual bird walk at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, May 14, at Roberts Farm Preserve.
Birders of all levels of experience are invited to join the walk, which will go through a variety of habitats to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. There is often a blend of expert birders and beginners — all are welcome. In years past, between as many as 40 species of birds have been identified in two hours.
The walk will begin at the warming hut at Roberts Farm. Participants should bring binoculars and bird guides.
There is no charge, but donations are welcome and will be used toward upkeep of the preserve. Register by email at info@wfltmaine.org.
Last summer, thanks to a project supported by Fish and Wildlife Services, a MOTUS wildlife tracking receiver was installed on the warming hut at Robert’s Farm Preserve. One of approximately 150 receivers in the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast, the data collected helps wildlife managers across North America better conserve a range of species from woodcock to bats, and songbirds to butterflies. To view the list of species detected by the Roberts Farm receiver, visit www.motus.org.
