Alex & Chris wrapped up our Maine: Mountains & Coast trip earlier this month, marking the end of our spring birding tours! Despite the week’s gloomy weather, the birds came through and we had a record number of species on the loop through Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire (2023 Maine eBird trip report)! This tour…
