Pemaquid Point, Maine - Aug '25

An afternoon at Pemaquid Point with Kat and the Mrs was a pleasure - a beautiful spot with stunning geology at the sharp end of a gradually narrowing peninsula.
Eiders entertained just beneath the rocks, catching crabs in the riptide and flocking close inshore, while other species included Laughing, Ring-billed and Bonaparte's Gulls, Black Guillemots, Black Scoter, Common Terns and the usual bucketloads of Double-crested Cormorants.
Pointing due south into the Atlantic, it's doubtless a great spot for both seawatching and passerine migration in the right conditions and seasons - here's hoping we make it back here under such circumstances.
