Atlantic Ocean: Common Murre, Black Legged Kittiwake, Dovekie, Northern Fulmar, Atlantic Puffin
With special thanks to Mike Snouty, I was able to go on the Paulagic Tour leaving from Brooklyn on the Brooklyn VI. Snouty picked me up at 3:30am and the boat left the dock promptly at 5am. It went out from Brooklyn heading southeast and went out 50-60 miles from shore. We spent some time out that far and headed back to about 25 miles offshore to find more birds. Lifers seen were Common Murre, Black Legged Kittiwake, Dovekie, Northern Fulmar, and Atlantic Puffin. Also saw Razorbill, Bonaparte's Gull, Gannett, Herring Gull, Great Black Backed Gull and a Lesser Black Backed Gull which I missed since I assumed it was a juvenile instead of the adult everyone else saw. I also got to see Common Dolphins and Harbor Porpoises.
