The Maine Audubon pelagic bird trip in fall provides a chance to see many of these species.  I'm not sure of the date this year.

Hi all,

My name is Don Jones, and I'll be spending the summer and fall based out of Brunswick working for the Nature Conservancy across Maine. Originally from Wyoming, I've spent the last four years in Vermont, and I'm very excited to explore another part of New England and hopefully add some oceanic species to my life list. I had hoped to make the trip to Machias Seal Island to see Atlantic Puffin, Arctic Tern, and perhaps Leach's and Wilson's Storm-Petrel on their breeding grounds, but I had no idea that all those trips would already be full for the entire summer. If anyone can provide me with suggestions on when/where/how I might otherwise stand a chance of seeing some of the following species (ranked according to their reported frequency in eBird) between now and the end of October, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Atlantic Puffin

Arctic Tern

Leach's Storm Petrel

Wilson's Storm Petrel

Great Shearwater

Manx Shearwater

Sooty Shearwater

Black-legged Kittiwake

Parasitic and/or Pomarine Jaeger

Northern Fulmar

Red Phalarope

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to exploring and birding Maine in the coming months!
