Treasures of Petit Manan Light House 2012



Petit Manan  seen in the distance from Steve Resotko's 14 foot out board motor boat.


Steve Resotko spotted this flock of female eider .




Petit Manan Light house complex from a distance. During the summer months volunteers live on the island doing research on puffins and other birds.


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.

Steve Resotko seen here on the shore of a nearby island preparing to take pictures of wild life.

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.
