Monhegan Island!

Maine's Most Enchanting Offshore Location

20 September 2010 - 24 September 2010, 5 days & 4 nights

Monhegan is a small, picturesque island of 1.5 square-miles that lies ten miles off the coast of central Maine. It is a prime stopover for southbound migrants and vagrants blown offshore, especially with the passage of a high-pressure system and the ensuing northwest winds. It can be expected to produce an excellent sampling of eastern North American migrants, with a fair chance for a few western and southern vagrants. On past tours we've found Magnificent Frigatebird (!), Red-headed Woodpecker, Western Kingbird, Say's Phoebe, Prothonotary Warbler, Clay-colored and Lark Sparrows, and White-winged Crossbill. We'll watch for warblers and thrushes, finches and sparrows, and falcons and accipiters as we walk the island's 17 miles of trails and check favored locations such as the Ice Pond, Lobster Cove, and Burnt Head. Seabirds including jaegers, shearwaters, and Northern Gannet are possible as we scan from the rocky headlands and during our one-hour boat ride from the mainland. All four nights are in the same lodge on Monhegan. Bob Schutsky will be your tour leader. Go on both the Grand Manan and Monhegan Tours and the room and meals on the day between the two tours are FREE!
