Coastal birding weekend on Mount Desert Island
Join guided bird walks, boat trips, and family sessions during Acadia Birding Festival, timed for spring migration along Maine’s granite coastline.
Event details
Late May is prime time on Mount Desert Island, when migrating songbirds, seabirds, and shorebirds funnel along Acadia’s coast and forests. The Acadia Birding Festival is based in Southwest Harbor and pairs guided walks and talks with optional boat trips for a full weekend of wildlife watching.
Program times vary by outing, so review the festival schedule and register where required. Bring binoculars and a windproof layer for the shoreline, and choose shorter walks for younger kids.
