BATH/BRUNSWICK

Welcome to Merrymeeting Audubon, a Chapter of Maine Audubon.

Programs and Events

Fall Field Trips and Programs begin September 6, with a birding trip to the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refugee properties on the southern Maine coast.  For more information on this and other trips see the Fall 2008 Schedule or visit Program and Events.

Brunswick Swifts

The Merrymeeting Audubon Society tracked Chimney Swfits at the former Brunswick High School in Brunswick this spring as their current migration roost is slated for destruction. This assessment was done preliminary to fund raising to replace the roost chimney.

The high count was 247 Swifts on May 25, with 247 Swifts seen entering the chimney at dusk.

For more information see A Swift's Night Out.
