SCARBOROUGH, Maine — Maine Audubon´s annual birdathon is getting under way.

Running for 24 hours beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, the bird-watching event coincides with peak migration as participants try to identify as many bird species as possible.

It´s held as a fundraiser for Maine Audubon.

Teams raise funds through pledges.

Participants include the Mighty Marsh Muckers, who are raising money for repairs at Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center, the Belted Kingpishers, a team of teenage birders led by Maine Audubon staff naturalist Eric Hynes, and the GrossGeeks.
