My trip to Maine evolved about eventually getting up to Cutler for 2 days out on Machias Seal Island with Andy.
We could not have asked for better weather and conditions, Seas were calm with waves less than a foot on day one, Day Two a slight ripple.
Both days had light overcast skies then later periods of sun.
conditions were pretty much ideal, Its a really fun place. Tyler and Andy go above and beyond to make the experience all it can be. Great times!

I worked for this image- These birds are lighting fast fliers. even at 1/2500th of a second I couldn't get the wing-beat frozen, not that I mind as the birds in motion, but it signifies there speed. They'll put a Bufflehead to shame.
Interesting facts:
These Sea birds belonging to the Alcid family live in colonies, they nest in Burroughs created between rock formations. They winter and live there lives at sea, only coming to land when breeding.
They are amongst the deepest diving birds, while foraging for small marine based fish they can dive to depths of 250 feet or 75 meters.
They stand only 10-11 1/2" Tall
