Barbara Vickery, Peter Vickery, Mary Bartlett and I went looking for birds by boat this morning from Eastport. The best action was in Western Passage between Eastport and Deer Island, NB. Bonaparte's gulls were feeding in the tide rips and we teased out a black-headed gull and a little gull from the mix. Porpoise brought a ball of Atlantic herring to the surface that attracted a frenzy of birds including nine bald eagles that were grabbing talons full of fish. A lesser black-backed gull was among the throng of large gulls at this fish feast. We also cruised through Head Harbor Passage and picked up an additional little gull and lesser black-backed gull along with great cormorants, black legged kittiwakes, etc. Great trip!
