Maine is an exciting place to observe birds as they migrate and settle in a variety of habitats—from rocky coastal islands and inland boreal forests, to saltwater marshes and deep glacial lakes. Host Aislinn Sarnacki learns more about this increasingly popular hobby on a bird walk at the Annual Rangeley Birding Festival.

Borealis is made possible through the generous support of our production sponsors The Nature Conservancy, the Maine Office of Outdoor Recreation, and Poland Spring, and our broadcast sponsors Evergreen Home Performance, Patriot Subaru, and Bangor Savings Bank, in addition to Maine Public's viewers and listeners.
