Bob Duchesne is the founder of the Maine Birding Trail and offers this authorized guide featuring more than 260 sites, including dozens not listed as part of the official trail. It includes bonus chapters on the nearby Canadian islands of Campobello and Grand Manan – both readily accessible from Maine. Unlike most guides, which usually focus on species identification, this book emphasizes the sites themselves, leading birders to the best locations in Maine and indicating the species most likely to be found there.
