Nature Notes: A Maine Naturalist Afield
Host: Glen Mittelhauser
Producers: Glen Mittelhauser, Daaby Tingle
Sailing from Penobscot Bay toward Swan’s Island, Glen passes Isle au Haut and reflects on nearly 40 years of winter waterbird surveys that began with his first study of Harlequin Ducks 1988. Along the way, he considers the history behind one of Maine’s many Egg Rocks before strong winds in Burnt Coat Harbor provide a reminder of how much weather dictates travel and fieldwork along the Maine coast.
