Anyone interested in heading out to Seal Island NWR this Sunday 8 AM
from Stonington? There are 6 signed up so far, but Captain Bill from
Old Quarry needs another 2 to make it happen. For those interested:
http://www.mainebirdingtrail.com/Puffins.html
Seal Island is three times the size of Matinicus Rock. It lies 22
miles off the mainland. Besides the abundant puffins, it is home to a
large number of Razorbills, and supports a few breeding pairs of Great
Cormorants. Black Guillemots are abundant on the way to the island,
and the trip passes through waters that are good for pelagic species.
Captain Bill Baker of Old Quarry Adventures makes regular trips to the
colony beginning in May, and additional visits are available by
charter. Call 207-367-8977
