What a blast!! Took a boat from Jonesport at 7 am and arrived at Machias Seal Island at around 8:45am. On the way, we were able to observe a couple of whales along with some Storm-Petrels and Shearwaters.

When we arrived on the island, I spotted a female Common Eider with her young. There are over 1,000 Artic Terns on the island ( 1, 2, 3) along with some Common Terns ( 1).

We were given 1 hour in the blinds, enough time to take over 135 pictures of Puffins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (over 3,000 puffins in the MSI colony) , 25 pictures of Common Murre 1, 2, 3, 4 and 20 images of Razorbills 1, 2, 3, 4.
