Annual Fall Trip: Pelagic Birding

Topics: Birding | Trips

Maine Audubon’s annual fall pelagic trip out of Bar Harbor has long been a must-do outing for the region’s birders. The trip is so eagerly anticipated because of a great boat, great camaraderie, and, of course, great birds!

Birding aboard the Friendship V is truly a unique experience. At 112 feet long, 31 feet wide, and powered by water jets, this catamaran is designed for speed, stability, and optimum viewing. We will cover over 100 miles on this adventure heading all the way Downeast and visiting ledges and islands well offshore. The focus will be on birds but spectacular views of Mount Desert Island and marine mammals are a given.  In addition to your trip leaders, there will be a number of expert spotters spread around the boat.  Last year’s adventure came across five different whale species and thousands of shearwaters and storm-petrels.  Who knows what we might find this year.
