Tracy Munson says: The skiff that took us ashore to the puffin colony on Machias Seal Island, being towed behind the bigger boat, early morning off Grand Manan Island, NB.
Besides being an amazing place to view birds, Machias Seal Island is interesting because it is the last disputed territory between Canada and the US. The island is only accessed by two boat tour companies, one departing from Grand Manan Island, and the other from Maine. The two boat captains seem to have a friendly rivalry going on, as they both kept welcoming each other to their respective countries. As our boat pulled away, the captain tossed a float over the side, with “Welcome to Canada” written on it.

Great shot! Love how the boat is perfectly lined up under the sun! Also sound like a fun trip!
@jeffrey_tadlock it was super fun. Lots of puffin pics to come, just haven’t been home to work on my big camera photos.
Just went to Machias two weeks ago – what an amazing adventure! I’ll be talking about that one for a long time!
Love the light here!!! I’m super excited to see the puffins!!!! Something I definitely want to photograph at some point!
Very nice, Tracy! I’ve been liking the mood of bright shots into the sun like this more and more lately.
Such a beautiful shot.? I enjoyed the story too.
@crystal_catherine did you?? I was there like 3 weeks ago – we just missed each other!
@markcmorrisphotography they are so cute and funny. Super easy to catch them sitting around, but super hard to catch them in flight.
@kevindjordanphoto thanks! Every now and then a good sunflare works.
@mycountrysideview thanks, glad someone read it ?
Amazing light!
Wonderful shot
I love Grand Manan! Didn’t have time for the puffin tour – will need to do that next time!
