EVERYTHING You Need To KNOW - BIRDING Offshore in Maine.

The Gulf of Maine is full of ocean-going birds in summer. They come from all over the Western Hemisphere to feast on the abundant food supply. Here are the secrets for what's out there and how to get there. Look for the puffins, shearwaters, storm-petrels, gannets, jaegers and skuas that keep company with the whales.

I will never forget when I was a kid sailing from Maine back to Massachusetts and a school of porpoises appeared and criss crossed the bow of our boat for quite some time as if saying 👋.

Your channel makes me wish I lived in Maine.

Next to the awesome footage, these practical ID tips are why I’m watching. The guidebook probably says something nutty like “look for the hint of purple in the supercilium”. Bob says, just watch whether it is flying like a swallow.

I know, right? All these years I've been doing it wrong - making it too complicated. It turns out it's like playing poker, and your opponent has a "tell."

Thank you for this very informative vlog. I would dearly love to get record shots of Pomarine Jaegar, Long-tailed Jaegar, Great Skua, South Polar Skua, Bonapartes Gull, Leach's Petrel, Wilson's Petrel, Laughing Gull, and Ring-billed Gull. (I think I already have photographs of the others).

This was excellent. Thank you! Maine is a definite birding bucket list destination for me. I love your videos.

The Gulf of Maine is such an amazing place and you certainly covered a very extensive variety of sea birds in this video. Just an incredibly thorough and instructional video on identifying those awesome birds. Thanks for posting Bob. Always look forward to your videos. We're supposed to get 8 inches of snow here in South western Connecticut and staying in the high 20's to 30's. A heat wave for you 😂

Amazing video!! Great tips!

Seeing Atlantic Puffins would be at the top of my list to see in Maine! A wonderful video Bob and I will be sure to revisit it if I ever plan a trip out that way!

[@Bob_Duchesne]

It can be arranged...

Awesome video and a Great refresher. I saved the video so I can revisit it several times over the year. I'm familiar with most of the birds but this will help cementing them into my memory as It tends to take some time with my recall speed with some birds. Thanks for the video!

Awesome video. A lot of great information that will require several viewings. Thanks for the great content. I always look forward to that notification when it pops up. 👍😃

I do tend to rush through it all too much.
