Puffins at Machias Seal Island

Well, there will be more pics and info to come.  But suffice it to say that this was Mike's and my best birding experience in 30+ years of together watching birds.

An hour and a half in a blind on Machias Seal Island, seeing sights like these.  These are not taken with a long lens.  This is directly outside our blind.  They were almost close enough to reach out and grab.

Furthermore, we added six species to our life lists:

Atlantic Puffin
Razorback
Arctic Tern
Northern Gannet
Common Murre
Black Guillemot

What a wonderful trip!!
