Host Aislinn Sarnacki joins Bob Duchesne—creator of the Maine Birding Trail, author, Bangor Daily News columnist, and vice president of Maine Audubon’s Penobscot Valley Chapter—for a bird walk through the Bangor City Forest and the Orono Bog Boardwalk.

Whether you've been birding for decades or are just now picking up a set of binoculars, spending time in the field with Bob is a reminder of how much wonder is out there, if you're willing to take a moment to look and listen.
