| Facility: | Birdsacre Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary | ||
| Description: | Charming and intimate, yet unassuming, a visit to Birdsacre is a unique and meaningful experience, perfect for children and adults, outdoors enthusiasts, bird lovers, and history buffs. Here you will hear the charming tales of a prominent family that bore a brilliant Pioneer Ornithologist, and be dazzled by hawks and owls set within a park-like sanctuary. The home of Cordelia Stanwood, Maine's pioneer ornithologist, was built in 1850. The home is furnished with original pieces and has exhibits of mounted birds, nests, eggs, and paintings. The Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary is the exclusive, official source of Cordelia J. Stanwood's avian field-notes and extensive photographic collection, preserving her original work in archives, and providing public viewing to copies of her paramount nature studies upon request. |
