If you are curious about Mount Abraham's high elevation birds and plants this field trip is an opportunity for just that. Peter McKinley is a biologist with the Wilderness Society with a research background including songbird and landscape conservation and serves as a MATLT board member.

 

On Saturday, June 1 he will lead a walk that will start low and wind its way up to the Mount Abraham ridgeline. We hope to catch the warbler migration, understory forest wild flowers, and the first blush of alpine wild flowers. If we are lucky Bicknell's thrushes, Blackpoll warblers, and many others will be calling, and Pete is expert with both eyes and ears.


We will meet at 7 AM at Lloyd Griscom’s ‘Red House’ on the East Madrid Road. The East Madrid Rd is the 2^nd LEFT off 142 after you have crossed the Sandy going north out of Phillips. It is marked by a big Manzer Hot mix sign. Lloyd’s house, #658, is just after the bridge over Perham stream and after white farm house with blue trim.

This will be an all day, strenuous hike, and group size will be limited to 12. Please contact Steve Bien 897 5215, sbien@myfairpoint.net to sign up or for information.
