Monhegan Island
Two Trips in 2010
September 20-23, 2010
September 25-28, 2010

If any place on Earth can combine the thrill of fall migration with simple relaxation, it is Monhegan Island. Off the mid-coast of Maine, Monhegan is one of the nation's most stunning places and premier birding hotspots. It is reknown for a lack of cars and an abundance of birds.

During this four-day outing, we'll see everything from falcons to warblers, from migrating monarchs tolounging harbor seals, not to mention a rugged coast with ocean cliffs. Highlights from our prior trips to Monhegan ranged from Clay-colored Sparrow to Dickcissel, from Northern Fulmar to Yellow-headed Blackbird. We often see whales and Harbor Porpoises on this trip.

Our lodging is Monhegan House -- simple and elegant (with some great cooks in the kitchen). Bryan has been staying there with clients for nearly a decade. We'll rise each morning to search for for waves of migrating birds. We'll retreat to a hearty breakfast and then return for more birds, jaw-dropping scenery and leisure afternoons gazing out to sea.

This outing is well-suited to serious and casual birdwatchers. We often accommodate birders with non-birding spouses on Monhegan. The island is 1.5 miles long and about 0.5 miles wide, which means we get to walk everywhere.

So get away from the car and discover one of American's gems. Contact Bryan to register or sign up online.

Price: $595 for single occupancy and $565 per person for double occupancy. The price includes ferry transportation from Port Clyde, dockside parking, three night's lodging, full breakfasts, birding, wine and cheese, snacks, relaxation, peace of mind and tons of birds.

Here is some fine print for this outing.
