Our goal\nis to exceed 100 bird species by\nday’s end. To make an informed\ndecision concerning your potential\nparticipation\, please review the\nfollowing:\n1. Since good weather conditions\nare desired for a successful Big Day\,\non the Wednesday before the Big Day\nweekend\, the trip leader will choose\neither Saturday or Sunday for this\ntrip.

Expect to ride 25+ miles on\nmostly flat terrain. However\, the pace\nwill be slow at times\, as we will be\nstopping frequently to observe and/\nor hear birds.\n5. Bring water/lunch/snacks\,\nouterwear based on the weather\,\nsunscreen\, and tick/mosquito\nrepellent.\n6. Since we will be viewing the\nairfield\, as well as Harpswell Cove\,\nit may be helpful to bring along a\nsmall birding scope that can be safely\nstowed on your bike.\n7. Since 3 or 4 species of owls are\ndesired for the Big Day list\, the trip\nleader (and anyone who desires to\nride along) is planning to ride out\nat 3:00 a.m. (bike headlight and/or\nflashlight required) to listen for owls.\nIf you are planning to come along to\nlisten for owls\, please confirm with\nthe trip leader.\n8. Anyone can leave or join the Big\nDay group at any time during the day.\nHowever\, please notify the leader\nwhen you leave\, or join\, the group.\n9.
