Many puffins were seen at Petit Manan Island including the one featured in the photo below.
Passengers also enjoyed hearing about the seabird research from supervisor Andrew. He also informed us that one of the research interns has been working on a blog. If you would like to read their blog, click on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife logo link on the right hand side of this blog page. It features great pictures and information about the puffins and other birds that nest on Petit Manan.
After spending time searching offshore, the whale watch sighted two finback whales. They were able to get numerous nice looks.
The finback whales were not the only marine mammal seen offshore. Grey seals made their appearance too. They always seem curious of the boat.
It was certainly a nice day on the water!
