From Casco Bay to Penobscot Bay, Midcoast Maine is defined by long rocky peninsulas and island-studded bays. This is the beginning of the Atlantic boreal coast. The cool maritime climate and shallow soil favors a forest of red spruce and fir, which is in turn reflected by the land birds one finds here. Much like the mountain and northern forest regions, the Midcoast forest features a remarkable variety of northern warblers. Swainson’s Thrush, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Winter Wren, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Dark-eyed Junco, and White-winged Crossbill are other typical species of the region.
