Through our Lens: Maine

After looking ahead with anxiety at forecasts of possible rain, the day of our outing to Machias Seal Island arrived and we were graced with dry (even if somewhat foggy) conditions. Calm seas meant the highly anticipated landing on the island was possible, and we were rewarded with quality up-close-and-personal observations of Atlantic Puffins, Razorbills, and Arctic Terns, among others. This really is a bucket list day of birding!
