[Maine-birds] Frigatebird - Stratton Island

Zeke Smith the seabird supervisor on Stratton Island just sent me a photo of a Frigatebird perching on a bare tree on Stratton Island. It was only on the island briefly and tried to land on a dead tree in the heron rookery but, was consistently harassed by terns so it got out of there relatively quick. It sounded like it came from the direction of Prout's Neck so that could be a good place to scope for it! It looked identical to the bird that was recently photographed on Stellwagen Bank. 

Good luck if you try for it! 

All the best,
