Mid-Coast Audubon is set to host the next program in its nature talk series, in partnership with Camden Public Library, “Journeys in Listening: Birds and More from Acadia and Beyond” with speaker Laura Sebastianelli.

The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 25, and will take place virtually via Zoom.

Sebastianelli is a naturalist with a passion for listening and sound recording. In 2017, she established “Schoodic Notes: Bird Sounds of Acadia,” a collaborative project with Schoodic Institute’s Bird Ecology program. Along with the help of a few other natural sound recordists, the project has archived over 1,200 recordings of Acadia’s birds, according to a news release from Will Broussard with Mid-Coast Audubon, based in Damariscotta.

Sebastianelli, a seasoned educator and wildlife technician, has long sought opportunities to empower others to develop their knowledge, skills and experience to understand, connect with and serve the natural world. She created and ran natural and cultural history programs for adults and families through University of Maine Cooperative Extension at Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learning Center, the National Park Service, and many other organizations.

She has also conducted track surveys of Canada Lynx via snowmobile, and howling surveys in search of Gray Wolf, in Maine’s North Woods.

This event is free and open to the public.
