Green Heron!! WOO HOO!! We don't get many of these in Montana, actually I don't know of any records. This was a really dark day hence the crummy photo.
Northern Cardinal!!
This Herring Gull was very cooperative at North Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.
Ring-billed Gull
COMMON EIDER! My first lifer of the trip! number 323 for the ABA area.I didn't grab any photos of any other of my lifers untill the boat trip. No photos of the Terns, or the Saltmarsh Sparrow.
GREATER SHEARWATER!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!
I love Storm-Petrels!! There was hundreds of these Willie Storms (Wilson's Storm-Petrels) all over! It was so cool! I am glad that a Storm-Petrel was my first pelagic bird EVER!
Foot-pattering!
SOOTY SHEARWATER!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
When everyone was freaking out about the Humpback Whales, I saw two Jaegers, and got a positive ID on one, a Parasitic Jaeger!!! My first Jaeger of the three!
Humpbacks feeding!
Northern Gannets were common but scattered throughout the boat tour. That was one of the 7 lifers I got today.
CORY'S SHEARWATER!!!!!!! Appearantly they are very uncommon in New Hampshire waters, but this year they have had several every signal outing! I saw 4 to 5 today!!
Another shot of the Cory's Shearwater!
Pins indicate where costumers are from in a lobster shop in Rye, New Hampshire. Looks like a few NW Montanans!

Hermit Crab!!! WOO HOO!! We don't get many of these in Montana, just one or two a year, mostly around water treatment plants during fall migration.
