Stephanie Martin is the programs coordinator for the non-profit Friends of Maine Seabird Islands. Learn how volunteers work with the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge in its efforts to conserve, protect, and enhance a rich diversity of coastal habitats, seabirds, and other wildlife. Think puffins, terns, razorbills, guillemots, and other seabirds! Since the refuge lands are largely offshore islands that are closed to the public during nesting season, this is a great opportunity to find out what they’re like.

We meet in Mather Auditorium, Wells Reserve at Laudholm.

Marie Jordan is a popular presenter of bird programs. She is an enthusiastic York County Audubon board member who spends hours in the field with binoculars, telescope, and camera. Her photos are fantastic and she will share her extensive knowledge of birds. In her spare time Marie travels extensively. Just back from a trip to Cuba, she will tell us of birds she has seen all over the world but she will also help us learn more ways to enjoy local birds and birding.
