This Durham Home Is Maine’s First Bird-Safe Residential Building
The moment Jeannette and Derek Lovitch laid eyes on their 78 acres of woods and wetlands, in Durham, they knew they’d found their bird sanctuary. “It’s lowland with a lot of cherry trees, a habitat that’s really good for birds,” Derek says. “We wanted to live where the birds already were.” The Lovitches are biologists and the owners of Freeport Wild Bird Supply, where picture windows frame a small native-plant garden and feeders that attract dozens of birds a day. They preferred a home with an even wilder view, and, in 2022, they hired Matt Maiello and Austin Smith (a birder Derek met at the store), of Portland’s Scott Simons Architects, to bring their vision to life. Now, the couple’s 2,000-square-foot modern abode features a soaring great room with 14-foot-tall columns of windows forming two panoramic viewing corners. They face a garden with native plants that attract hummingbirds, such as jewelweed and obedient plants, plus a dozen feeders, nine birdhouses, two bat houses, a birdbath, and a pond the couple dug to entice waterbirds. “But the more birds you attract to your yard, the more likely they are to come into contact with glass,” Derek says. “We wanted to look at the birds and not worry about them hitting the windows.”
