The Local Voice in Land Conservation | High Peaks Region Maine
June 21, 2024 – Nothing major, just the basics, nothing different. Blue Jays, Doves, Goldfinches, Purple finches, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Robins, and Phoebe are still squawking, and the Woodcock squawks too but I haven’t seen him yet.
Somebody did say that they saw some Partridges on the trail, he thinks it was a group of Spruce. I’ve seen both the Snowshoe hare and the cottontail.

Meet Carson Hinkley, a seventh-generation resident of the East Madrid settlement. Carson grew up and lives today in the farmhouse across from the Perham Stream Birding Trail trailhead. He’s a historian and naturalist.
In 2022 Carson sold the 80-acre Perham Stream Birding Trail to the HPA, placing it in conservation. He continues to steward the land and animals today.
If you visit the trail, you might have the pleasure of meeting Carson.
