With the apparent demise of my Field Notes blog on Mainetoday.com, I thought it was time to begin anew.  We will continue to use Facebook (www.facebook.com/freeportwildbird) for “micro-blogging,” including daily bird sightings and short trip reports, conservation news, store news, and more.  Here, however, will be the new home for the lengthier essays, and especially photo-filled trip reports.  I will also archive my rare bird sightings in posts here.
