Now that spring has sprung... check out the Weskeag Marsh which is located in South Thomaston and is well known in the birding community as a prime location to, well, watch birds. It is located on Buttermilk Lane within the R. Waldo Tyler Wildlife Management Area that is over 600 acres. If you enjoy an easy hike there is a 1 mile trail that loops around. Keep in mind the good chance of encountering bugs, including ticks, and keep those pups leashed to ensure any nesting birds are not disturbed. And while hiking keep and eye out for several different birds from the well known Canadian Goose to the small Eastern Bluebird.
