I have not been taking pictures much so I have no new pictures of Razorbills, Murre, Puffins, Arctic terns, that I see when ever I go to Seal Island.
I did go to Jericho bay to see how many great Cormorants I could find over there.
first just a reminder the legendary Red-billed Tropicbird of Seal Island is alive and in residence and awaiting our audience, and there are so many other good birds to see in the bay its worth the trip, The ferry to Vinalhaven leaves from Rockland. its still nice and cool out on the water.
ok here are some pictures from the first week of June
Cortland, & James and the second boat is Six Corkers I think Thanks for the help Cortland & James
