Scott Weidensaul Session Director, Instructors : Holly Merker and Seth Benz

This special, small-group session is devoted to the wonders of fall migration and will include an overnight stay on the iconic and beautiful Monhegan Island. The rest of the week will be spent traveling to the best migrant hotspots around Hog Island based on the weather, tides, and bird migration patterns. 

This intensive week of birding will take participants from tidal marshes and beaches to hawk watches, spruce forests, and the outer islands and waters of Muscongus Bay. The highlight will be an overnight trip to Monhegan Island, one of the best "migrant traps" in the Northeast -- a place justly famous for its birding and dramatic rocky coastline, which has inspired artists for more than a century. Learn about how and why birds migrate and the conservation challenges facing them from experts in the field of ornithology.
