2025 Schoodic Winter Birding Adventure

Discover winter birds on the Schoodic Peninsula! Please RSVP for free below.

Join Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park for a free, self-guided birding adventure on Saturday, January 11, 2025. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just curious, this event offers a fun and welcoming way to explore the winter wonderland of the Schoodic Peninsula. Drop by anytime between 8am – 12pm!

WARM refreshments and COOL activities await you at the Schoodic District gatehouse:

• Meet Lauren, Louisa, and Trevor—our 2024 Cathy and Jim Gero Acadia Early-Career Fellows
• Borrow binoculars and explore bird ID guides
• Play games to learn more about birding
• Enjoy some hot coffee, tea, and pastries.

Then, set out to discover the region’s winter birds at your own pace! Located at the entrance to Schoodic Institute’s campus in Winter Harbor, ME, swing by the gatehouse first to meet the team, enjoy refreshments and games, then explore the area.

All ages and experience levels are welcome—beginners encouraged!
