Puffins and Peatlands

Description

Take a private charter boat to Petit Manan Island off the coast of Winter Harbor in Maine to view stunning Atlantic Puffins in their beautiful breeding colors. From our boat, we'll see and photograph Atlantic Puffins along with a variety of other seabirds, including Razorbills, Arctic Terns, Common Murres, and more. While exploring the boreal forests, we'll look and listen for nesting warblers, vireos, flycatchers, and thrushes. It’s possible to also find northern specialty birds such as Boreal Chickadees, Spruce Grouses, and Canada Jays. Along the coast, have a look in Cobscook Bay and from Quoddy Head Light to scan for seabirds, seals, whales, and dolphins. Enjoy the unique wildlands of this region, including boreal forests, raised bogs, and an offshore seabird nesting colony.
