Thur. 31 Oct.
One of the final nature cruises of the year around Frenchman Bay. Weather forecast has caused cancellation of the Friday trip but trips are scheduled for 11/1-8 if enough people are around.
Increasing onshore wind today brought in a nice Fulmar off Egg Rock...very rare inside of Schoodic Pt.
20+ Gannets. There have been very few up in the bay the past month compared to other years.
Large(25-50) locks of White-winged Scoters, Black Scoters, and some smaller flocks (10-15) of Surf Scoters. All of them both moving and feeding around various spots in the bay.
Continued increase of Common Loons with 30-40 seen on our 2 hour circuit of the bay, 95% of them in winter plumage.
Non-bird....50+ Harbor Seals and 10+ Northern Gray Seals on Egg Rock. Rapidly decreasing numbers of bipedal human primate mammals almost daily along the shores of Acadia National Park and the Mt. Desert Island area.
