Wildlife of Mount Desert Island
Harbor Seals are regularly seen by our paddlers and are the friendliest of the wilflife we see on the water.
We saw this little harbor seal throughout the 2020 season; here, one of our paddlers captured the sweet guy, greeting all the kayakers.
One of the best parts of our kayak tours is that each you always have the potential to see something new!
Bald Eagles regularly make appearances, especially when babies are nesting. Sheep Porcupine Island houses one of the many Bald Eagle nests on Mount Desert Island.
This double-crested cormorant is one of the 320 species of birds found on mount desert island.
Harbor porpoises are actually the smallest member of the whale family and they proliferate in Frenchman Bay.
Osprey will often fly overhead to make their presence known, searching for fish. Their wingspan can be up to 6 feet wide.
The great blue heron spends time fishing in the harbor.
The black guillemot is a cousin of the puffin and is considered by many of our paddlers to be “the cutest bird in Maine.”
