Sandi McRae Duchesne is an avid birder - and coastal Washington County is her favorite place to go birding in late May! She has guided for the Down East Spring Birding Festival almost every year since its inception in 2004. In her 30+ years as a board member and past President of the Penobscot Valley Chapter of Maine Audubon, Sandi has also developed and led numerous single-day, weekend, and week-long birding trips in Maine, eastern Canada, NH, and south Florida. She is a retired civil engineer and Navy officer, and currently serves on the Maine Audubon Board of Trustees.
