Not far from the Scarborough shore, Stratton Island is a nesting colony and roosting site for a remarkable diversity of coastal birds.
A project site of National Audubon's internationally-recognized Seabird Restoration Program, Stratton is normally inaccessible to visitors. On these special outings, however, we will be able to land and have a uniquely intimate experience among a thousand pairs of terns. Observation blinds provide remarkable photographic opportunities. The island's extraordinary bird colony includes little blue and black-crowned night-herons; snowy and great egrets; glossy ibis; common, roseate, arctic, and least terns; blue-winged teal; sora; and one of Maine's rarest breeding birds: the American oystercatcher.
