Follow the spring migration of birds in the Rangeley Lakes Region with professional nature photographer Nick Leadley. From migratory warblers to resident species, Leadley never tires of chasing birds with his camera, and he has amassed a collection of stunning images from a life spent in the woods and fields of western Maine. In this short film, Leadley leads an expedition in search of spring migrants on the rugged logging roads of Rangeley, during a magical time of year when the region is coming to life. And while it’s not easy to capture images of tiny, active birds, the sounds and sights of nature are readily available to any visitor.

Of course, birding and bird photography aren’t the only outdoor activities available in this beautiful part of Maine. Some four hours from Boston, the Rangeley Lakes Region offers camping, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, fishing, paddling, snowmobiling, and more! Plus, there are fun, comfortable places to eat, drink, and spend the night.
