Media notes
Seabird nesting colony of Arctic Tern, Razorbill, and Atlantic Puffin. Arctic Tern are most prominent in the attached audio file, however Razorbill, Atlantic Puffin (first @ ~1:27), and a single Spotted Sandpiper (~0:33) are heard as well. Wing sounds are also audible. Based upon the wing beat pattern most are likely alcid. Recording made with Charles D. Duncan of the Institute for Field Ornithology - University of Maine at Machias.
