See the Puffins on Eastern Egg Rock

Join the Friends of Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge on a one-of-a-kind trip to Eastern Egg Rock on Saturday, June10 from 1-3 PM.  This trip in partnership with Monhegan Boat Line will go directly to Eastern Egg Rock, and is limited to 25 people, so everyone will get a “window seat” next to the rail.  Although Eastern Egg Rock isn’t one of Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge islands, it’s a wonderful duplication of their efforts protecting nesting seabirds offshore.  Expect to see nesting Atlantic puffins, common & Arctic terns, laughing gulls, black guillemots, and common eiders.  If we are lucky enough, we may be able to pick out some endangered roseate terns in the colony or even a non-breeding razorbill.  Tickets are $100 with some proceeds helping to support Maine Coastal Islands NWR seabird program. Rain date is Sunday, June 11th.
