[Maine-birds] Matinicus Rock trip

Hi All,

We still have space on the Matinicus Rock trip. Please see below for
details and feel free to email me with questions. Jan Pierson and
Peter Vickery are leading.

Friday Jun 8, 2012 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
New Harbor, ME
Members: $80.00 Non-members: $100.00

A 32-acre island 18 miles offshore at the mouth of Penobscot Bay,
Matinicus Rock is one of Maine's most important seabird nesting
colonies. Here, Atlantic puffins, razorbills, common murres, black
guillemots, arctic and common terns, and laughing gulls all gather to
nest.

Motoring out of New Harbor aboard the Hardy III, we'll cross the mouth
of Muscongus Bay, passing close by the seabird colony at Eastern Egg
Rock where roseate terns nest. With plenty of open-water habitat along
our route, we could see a good array of pelagic species, including
Wilson's storm-petrels, northern gannets, common murres, phalaropes,
greater and sooty shearwaters, black-legged kittiwakes, and jaegers.
