Steve Resotko wild life photographer captured an eagle taking to flight on Green Island which is a nearby island to Petit Manan Island, summer 2012.

A flock of Terns take to flight.

We circled Petit Manan Island in a 14 foot out board motor boat taking
photos of bird life. I photographed the Friendship V out of Bar Harbor .
We waved and the passengers returned our friendly gesture.

The day we went out to Petit Manan the swells were 2 to 5 feet.

We waited for swells to wash ashore before we power between ledge and

Petit Manan Island.

Steve Resotko  caught this Puffin with it right leg resting on the

edge of a piece of pink granite. Both of us were using 300 mm lense.

The top "cap" of Petit Manan Lights. I scaled this picture to

give emphasis to the light's beauty.

The Friendship V appears to be close to our 14 foot out board motor boat.
Actually the V was along ways off from us. I scaled the image to make it look close by.

Steve Resotko photographed this seal as it poked it head above the surface to
check us out.

A large bouy marks the western entrance to the bay. The W stands for Western Bouy.
