Let's put our heads together! |
Puffin skipping on the water! |
Grey and Harbor Seals! |
Yesterday, Brandon and I got to go on an Atlantic Puffin Tour to Machias Seal Island off the Maine coast. We traveled 10 miles out to sea. The island we visited still has a manned lighthouse and a research station. We were able to spend a few hours in a blind where we were surrounded by Atlantic Puffins, Razorbill Auks, Common Murres, and Arctic Turns to name a few. Also, on the neighboring island we found Grey Seals and Harbor Seals. Seeing these sea birds in the wild is an enchanting and once in a lifetime opportunity. The weather was perfect and the birds put on a show! I might put up some more photos as I took over 600.
