REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsHow can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place? Was there a new place in your region that was exciting to learn about and visit?
Caitlyn Cooper 4/10/2023 11:40 AMI recently moved to Maine and have been exploring the coastal areas of my new home. Although I'm now technically in the wrong eco-challenge team (from central to northeast) I'm still happy to participate and share my new sightings. All of these are new "life list" bird species for me, as I've never really been on an ocean coast for long. Although some of these are common species around here, they're new to me! (Common eider & iceland gull)
