"Moosehorn is the easternmost national wildlife refuge in the Atlantic flyway, a migration route that follows the east coast of North America. Moosehorn's primary purpose is to protect wildlife, including migrating waterfowl, wading birds, shorebirds, upland game birds, songbirds, and birds of prey.
The refuge consists of two divisions. The Baring Division covers 17,200 Acres and is located southwest of Calais, ME. The 7,200 Acre Edmunds Division sits between Dennysville and Whiting on U.S. Rt. 1 and borders the tidal waters of Cobscook Bay. Each division contains a National Wilderness Area managed to preserve their wild character.
The refuge is named for Moosehorn Stream, a waterway within its boundaries. Ironically, this is a misnomer, since moose have antlers and not horns!"
