8 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Tours also on  July 30, Aug. 6, Sept. 5. Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center, 92 Pine Point Road, Scarborough, $16. maineaudubon.org
Maine Audubon invites you to spend about 90 glorious minutes paddling around Scarborough Marsh as you experience the sights and sounds of its inhabitants beneath the full moon or during a lovely Maine sunset. You’ll keep an eye out for black-crowned night herons and snowy egrets, and if luck is on your side, you could encounter a harbor seal or muskrat living their best life in the water. Book your slot by giving them a ring at (207) 883-5100. Life jackets, canoes, paddles and a tour guide are all included.
