While the event is called "Big Night Maine," it's not limited to a single night and volunteers may participate when they can and provide data when they're able to collect it.

BETHEL ” The Valentine Farm Birding Trail is a perfect way for people to get to see some our superstars and understand how important our region is for healthy birds both here and from other parts of the world,” James Reddoch, an avid birder and part-time Albany Township resident, said.
The soon to be birding trail, located off the North Road in Bethel, will officially open on Saturday, May 15, following a ribbon cutting in the morning at the Valentine Farm.
Over the past few years, birding has become an increasingly popular activity, leading to more birding trails popping up all over the country. With the trail at Valentine Farm, not only will there be another place for people to search for birds, but this one will have plenty of tools to help guide those just getting into the activity of birding.
