The Lower Trinity Valley Bird Club of Liberty, Texas, spent a week in June birding in New Hampshire and Maine where they identified over 140 species of birds including 15 species of nesting warblers and 10 pelagic species. Their chief birding areas were Cannon Mountain, NH; Baxter State Park, ME; Katahdin Woods National Monument, ME; Arcadia National Park, ME; and a pelagic tour which took them 57 miles into the Gulf of Maine.
Outstanding bird finds were the Little Egret, Saltmarsh Sparrow, Boreal Chickadee, Ruffed Grouse, Sooty Shearwater, Atlantic Puffin, Wilson’s Storm-Petrel and Leach’s Storm-Petrel.
The LTVBC meets monthly (September-April) at the FLNB Corner on the second Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The Club has monthly field trips to local birding hotspots on the 3rd Saturday of each Month.
