If you want to see Atlantic Puffin, Razorbill, Red-billed Tropicbird and Great Cormorant in breeding plumage and arctic terns you can go with oldquarryoceanadventures.com on their Tuesday puffin trips out of Stonington. Best time for these is before mid-August when numbers are dwindling. Often times during the summer we see wilson's storm-petrel, great shearwater, and sooty shearwater but it depends on winds and currents. Red Phalaropes are seen along wrack lines in late Summer (mid July on) but will be white not red that time of year. Bar Harbor Whale watch is excellent for pelagics in August for most of your targets (plus cory's shearwater, manx shearwater, skuas and all three jaegers) but fulmars are rare. The alcids and terns can seem further away because of the boats large size and ability to get close to the island and birds.
