Camden/Rockport, Maine - Birder and columnist Don Reimer will lead a presentation titled “Summering with Vultures” at Merryspring Nature Center on Tuesday, February 18 at 12:00 pm.
Maine’s turkey vulture population has expanded immensely since the state’s first nesting pair was discovered in the Camden Hills in 1982. Don Reimer will lead a lively pictorial portrait as a vulture pair raises two downy chicks from egg through fledged independence. The talk will trace detailed weekly progress at the nest site throughout the 2019 summer nesting season.

A Board Member of Midcoast Audubon, he has led field excursions for local environmental organizations and the American Birding Association National Convention.
