LOVELL — The Hobbs Library Speaker Series is scheduled to continue at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, on Zoom with Nick Lund, Maine Audubon’s advocacy and outreach manager.

The topic will focus on the state of Maine birds and the significant changes observed through the decades.

Bald Eagles and Wild Turkeys were nearly gone from Maine in the 1900s but have returned. On the other hand, numbers of American Kestrel, Tree Swallow and Evening Grosbeak are all down, according to a news release from the library.

This presentation covers the last few decades and discusses which species are disappearing, which are increasing, and then tries to identify what the future of Maine birds might be.

Maine Audubon is a statewide nonprofit dedicated to the protection of Maine wildlife and wildlife habitat.

Lund is a Falmouth native and the author of several books, including the “American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of Maine,” and “The Ultimate Biography of Earth.”

This event is co-sponsored by the Greater Lovell Land Trust and is supported in part by a contribution from Norway Savings Bank.
