Birding the North Maine Woods can be awesome in winter, if you can survive it. Find hundreds of pine grosbeaks, evening grosbeaks, pine siskins, common redpolls, purple finches, white-winged crossbills, and red crossbills. Discover black-backed woodpeckers, boreal chickadees, Canada jays, and spruce grouse. But beware. Mother Nature may try to kill you.
