Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away.
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

I am a birding enthusiast and I love to go out as much as I can. There are some really neat hotspots in Biddeford/Kennebunk and it seems like I'm always finding something new.
I'm very cheerful and I enjoy birding with others and I look forward to meeting new people and learning new things.
I have a flexible work schedule, but I need reasonable notice to verify.
Area:
Timber Point, East Point Snctuary, Kennebunk Plains, Biddeford
Area Birds:
Snowy Owl, Wood Warblers, Grasshopper Sparrow, Peregrine Falcon
Most weekends, planned vacations, often one weekday.

Area Birds:
Alcids, spring/fall migrants, residents, ie Boreal Chickadee, Gray Jay, Black-b
These species can be difficult to locate. Planning ahead is a best practice.
I am an intermediate birder familiar with Southern Maine "hotspots" which are especially good in Spring and Fall, but Maine has many residents and other migrants all year
Area:
Southern Maine
Area Birds:
Migrating warblers, shorebirds and locals
Available in the Portland area off and on for much of the year. In the summer, I'm closer to Acadia National Park on Mt. Desert Island.
