After leaving from Old Quarry on Wednesday, it was a nice sunny day; perfect for the tropicbird. Saw our usual loons, eiders, eagles, guillemots and ospreys on the way out. The only pelagic bird was a single immature Northern Gannet. At the island was about 50 Atlantic Puffins milling about in the water, about 15 razorbills scattered about, a Peregrine Falcon perched on top of the island, plenty of arctic terns, common terns, Great Cormorants, and double crested cormorants. We only had to wait about 5 minutes before the Red-billed Tropicbird showed up and allowed us to see him from 30 feet, flew around the boat and called fir a couple of minutes before landing on the water again.
