The West Penjajawoc Grasslands is a property managed by the Bangor Land Trust with a focus on bird watching. My son and I visited today to walk the property and photograph birds.
According to the Bangor Land Trust's website, the mostly grassland property has mowed trails; however, at this time of the year the trails were not clearly defined and as such we essentially wandered around the field looking for birds.
There are a few strands of brush which make for excellent cover for birds, and the far end of the preserve overlooks a grassy marshland. There is also forested land adjacent to the fields.
Here is a
map of our walk.

The preserve lacked clearly delineated trails this time of year. |
