SUMMARY:Author Talk with Catherine Schmitt: Trees of Acadia (at Jesup Memorial Library)
DESCRIPTION:From the sharp spires of spruce and fir at the edge of ocean cliffs\, to mountain forests\, cedar swamps\, maple meadows\, and pine barrens\, Acadia National Park would not be Acadia if not for the trees. The most common ecosystem across the park\, forests support a diversity of wildlife\, protect lakes and streams\, and clean the air. These forests are special for many reasons. Located in a transition zone between warm temperate forest and cool boreal forest\, between mountains and the sea\, Acadia’s trees support a unique assemblage of plants\, animals\, lichen\, and moss. Under Wabanaki care for millennia\, trees inspired action that resulted in conservation of what became Acadia National Park. Today\, Acadia hosts some of the oldest and healthiest woodlands in the Eastern United States\, but their future is uncertain. Hear a few of these stories and celebrate the release of the new book\, Trees of Acadia: The Past\, Present\, and Future of Park Forests\, published by Down East Books. \nOn Wednesday\, July 1st at 5:30pm\, author and Science Communication Specialist Catherine Schmitt will appear at the Jesup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor\, ME for a book launch and reading from Trees of Acadia. Copies of the book will be available for sale\, courtesy of Sherman’s Books. \nLearn more and RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Mexico: Oaxacan Adventure with Schoodic Institute and Sabrewing
DESCRIPTION:Join Sabrewing Nature Tours and Schoodic Institute on January 9-19\, 2027 for an exciting birding adventure in Mexico!  \n\n\nOur Mexico Oaxaca Adventure begins in Huatulco\, where the lush Pacific lowlands and mangrove forests offer a vibrant introduction to southern Mexico’s birdlife. We’ll explore tropical dry forest trails in Huatulco National Park\, scan coastal lagoons near Juchitán for shorebirds and waterbirds\, and venture inland to Ojo de Agua for a shot at specialties like Rose-bellied Bunting and Turquoise-crowned Hummingbird. A short pelagic trip off the coast promises seabirds like shearwaters\, storm-petrels\, and boobies before we head into the mountains for an entirely different birding experience. \nAs we ascend into the Sierra Madre del Sur\, we trade coastal heat for cool pine-oak forests and cloud forest vistas. Our time in Pluma de Oro and San José del Pacífico is rich with Mexican endemics\, Red Warbler\, Dwarf Jay\, Gray-barred Wren\, and Golden Vireo among them. Staying in peaceful mountain lodges with hummingbird-filled gardens\, we enjoy slow mornings\, scenic trails\, and the sounds of highland forests teeming with avian activity. These days offer a rewarding mix of serious birding and tranquil immersion in nature. \nWe finish in Oaxaca City\, where birding and cultural exploration go hand-in-hand. From the archaeological splendor of Monte Albán and Yagul to highland trails at La Cumbre Ixtepeji and Aranjuez\, we target species like Aztec Thrush\, Ocellated Thrasher\, and Oaxaca Sparrow while also savoring the city’s famed cuisine and mezcal traditions. This tour captures the essence of Oaxaca\, from steamy lowlands to pine-clad peaks and back to the vibrant cultural heart of the region\, delivering a birding journey as diverse and colorful as the birds themselves. \n\n\nRegister today!
