[Maine-birds] Isle au Haut

Yesterday’s Island Heritage Trust boat trip to see the harlequin ducks around Isle au Haut produced approximately 50 harlequins in the fog, plus a few unusual sights:

 

By my count, there were FIVE thick-billed murres. (I don’t know what was going on out there, but that was a surprise. This annual trip has been going on for several years, and there has been only one previous sighting.)

 

One distant razorbill flew by, and one cooperative individual foraged near the boat.

 

Also, two brant flew by.

 

Fun trip, as always.
