点评:During the 4 day/3 night birding trip we saw 59 bird species - more than I expected. This was primarily due to Casey, our very impressive and patient birding guide, who was an expert at IDing birds by sound. The group of 10 birders & photographers and Kris, the LLBean specialist, were great at finding the birds so that we could see many of them with our binoculars. We walked at a birders' pace before breakfast, after breakfast, and in the afternoon. All walks were optional.
The Whitehouse Island Inn was very comfortable with spacious rooms, a great comforter on the beds, and 3 conversation rooms. Gigi prepared very delicious meals that we ate together at a dining table.
Matt also worked on the island and gave us a brief talk on the history of the island and took us out on a boat tour that allowed us to see some more birds and at least 20 seals lounging on huge rocks at low tide.
Whitehead Island is beautiful - mainly covered in spruce with moss, lichen, and ferns. The shore was rocky. Very peaceful - no man-made noises for 99% of the time.
Kris had a myriad of small items that helped make our days better - e.g. snacks, small took, whistles, headlamps, ...
The guests were all very nice, too. It was a very good group and experience.

Whitehouse Island Inn酒店非常舒适,房间宽敞,床上铺着舒适的棉被,还有3间交流室。Gigi准备了非常美味的饭菜,我们一起在餐桌上享用。
Matt也在岛上工作,给我们简要介绍了岛屿的历史,并带我们乘船游览,让我们看到了更多的鸟类,以及至少20只在退潮时躺在巨石上的海豹。
怀特黑德岛风景优美——主要被云杉覆盖,还长满了苔藓、地衣和蕨类植物。海岸岩石嶙峋。非常宁静——99%的时间里都没有人为噪音。
克里斯准备了各种各样的小礼物,让我们的时光更加美好——比如零食、小玩意、口哨、头灯……
客人们也都非常友好。这是一个非常棒的团队,也是一次很棒的体验。
