PUFFIN-WATCHING
Machias Seal Island is approximately ten miles out of Cutler Harbor and is the breeding site of the largest nesting colony of Atlantic Puffins on the Maine coast. The island is designated as a bird sanctuary by the U.S. and Canadian Wildlife Service, and is also the site of a light station, maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard. Puffin-watching trips leave from Cutler Harbor from May through August.

Birding enthusiasts visiting the island may also see razorbills and arctic terns, and on the journey to and from the island, gannets, petrels, shearwaters, common murres, eiders and guillemots as well as eagles, and marine life such as porpoises, seals and whales. |
