Abstract
"Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge is located in the easternmost portion of Maine. The refueg consists of two units. The Baring Unit covers 16, 065 acres and is located off U.S Route 1 just north of Calais. The 6,600-acre Edmunds Unit borders the tidal waters of Cobscook Bay near Dennysville.
The refuge is a highly glaciated expanse of rolling hills, large ledge outcrops, streams, lakes, bogs and marshes. A diverse forest of aspen, maple, birch, spruce and fir dominates the landscape and scattered stands of majestic white pine are common. The Edmunds Unit boasts several miles of rocky shoreline where 24-foot tidal fluctuations are a daily occurrence.
Moosehorn offers its visitors over 50 miles of raods and trails which are closed to vehicle traffic but open for hiking and cross-country skiing. Additional information is available by visiting the refuge headquarters, located north of Calais, off Route 1, on the Charlotte Road (Monday-Friday, 7:30a.m. to 4:00p.m.).
This leaflet lists 216 birds that have been identified on the Moosehorn Refuge since its establishment in 1937. This list is in accordance with the Sixth American Ornithologists' Union Checklist..."
