KENNEBUNK, Maine They are equal parts majestic, graceful and prehistoric. With a wing span of nearly five or six feet, Great Blue Herons are some of the biggest birds that take to the wing in the Maine skies.
It takes a small army of volunteers each year to keep an eye on this particular bird population – and with good reason. Tracking how the Great Blue Heron population is doing in our state and where they are nesting tells us a lot about their environment and ours. Over the last few decades, the colonies of Great Blue Herons nesting along Maine’s coastline has declined. What is impacting these birds, and are they simply moving elsewhere in the state? It is the work of the Heron Observation Network to try to answer some of those questions.

Last year, as more of us flocked outdoors to hike or spend time in our own backyard Humanities Kansas started to explore the idea of creating something tangible to make the experience more meaningful.
“We’d always talked about the concept of DIY humanities, humanities where you are,” says associate director Tracy Quillin, “and having a tool to connect people with that.”
Before the pandemic, the independent nonprofit probably would have hosted some kind of event to make the connection. But planning events is tricky in COVID-19 times.
“We did know that we could do a book,” Quillin says.
