Puffins and Eagles

One of the days at Englishtown we set out by boat for the Bird Islands, a local sanctuary for puffins, eagles and any other birds that want to stay.
Our boat was captained and owned by Donelda, a lovely lady who has been doing these tours for over twenty years. She and her husband are lobster fishermen who run the bird-watching tours in the off (lobstering) season. She was very knowledgeable and together they often spotted an eagle or seal well before the rest of us could see it. We saw lots of bald eagles and puffins, as well as grey seals, kittywakes, razorbills and others. This eagle is near the boat dock and landings and can often be seen fishing nearby.
This is a puffin nesting high on the rocks.
I've added a picture from

the web so you could really appreciate the puffin's beauty. They're in Maine also and we hope to see more of them.
The bald eagles are very numerous on the islands (there are at least five in this photo). Though we've seen eagles in Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas, we'd never seen this many at one time.
