[Maine-birds] Vinalhaven trip (1/31/17)...

Hi all,

On Monday, Mike Fahay and I took the 8:45am ferry from Rockland to
Vinalhaven, birded a small section of the island from 10:15-12:45, and
returned on the 1pm ferry. Our island visit was lacking in birds, but
we enjoyed a decent number of alcids during the ferry crossings. The
flat waters and partly cloudy sky made for excellent viewing
conditions.

On the way to Vinalhaven, we tallied 24 RAZORBILLS and 26 BLACK
GUILLEMOTS. On the return trip, we saw 2 COMMON MURRES, just 2
RAZORBILLS, and again 26 BLACK GUILLEMOTS.

Here are links to our eBird checklists:
