Guided Bird Walk: Cousins River Field and Marsh, Yarmouth

Field Trip has been rescheduled to Sunday, May 11, due to predicted rain on Saturday.

We’ll be searching for spring migrants on this new Maine Coast Heritage Trust preserve as we walk easy loops and spurs (up to 2 miles) in an old farm field and upland forest, with views of the Cousins River salt marsh. There are picnic tables and benches along the way, as well as a porta-potty at the parking area.

Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the preserve off Granite Street in Yarmouth. From Route 1 in Freeport, turn on Old County Road and head northwest. Follow it, as it crosses over I-295 and reaches Granite Street in 1.5 miles. Turn left and drive less than 1⁄4 mile to the preserve entrance and parking area on the left.
