Mid-Coast Audubon Board and Camden Public Library will host Nick Lund of Maine Audubon in a lively Zoom pictorial portrait of the State of the Birds: Decades of Change. The free online talk on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. will cover the changes in bird populations in Maine over the last few decades, and discuss which species are disappearing and which are increasing.

This will be a free online presentation hosted by the Camden Public Library. To register for the event, please email Julia Pierce (jpierce@librarycamden.org) to request the Zoom login information.

Lund lives and birds in southern Maine. He is the outreach and network manager for Maine Audubon. He is also a writer focusing on birds and science, with regular columns in the Portland Phoenix and in the National Audubon Society magazine, and bylines in Slate, the Washington Post, National Geographic Online, and others.

Lund has also built a large following as The Birdist, a blog featuring his humorous and insightful musings on birding and nature. His recurring “Birdist’s Rules of Birding” columns are among National Audubon’s most popular.

Mid-Coast Audubon’s mission is to promote long-term, responsible use of natural resources through informed membership, education and community awareness. For listings of other free programs and field trips hosted by Mid-Coast Audubon, visit their website at https://midcoast.maineaudubon.org/events/
