Picked up this dwarf fledgling puffin, too light to dive, a few years back a similar bird was fed and grew after such stunting. we gave it to Stacey to take care of, I think she sent it off the the mainland.

These fledglings are reluctant to disperse from their nesting site, some staying around until mid September if undisturbed.

a couple of pairs of gannets have nested in the Gulf of Maine during the last decade or so about 130 miles east of here in New Brunswick.

Aug 16, Cormorants, Gulls, VH, Owls:
August 16th.
Empty nests of cormorants Little Roberts, cormorants near the shore.
this years fledgling Great Cormorants
the most I counted was 10 or so, and so at this point these 7 are most of the great cormorant production at Little Roberts this year.
one double-crested in there, and a couple of young herring gulls of the year.
there was a black-back mugging an adult herring gull at Holden ledge.
I think the herring gull was released, though it could not escape on its own.
