Nineteen pairs of Least Terns nested on Stratton in 2005, the
first recorded nesting of the species on any island in Maine. The terns have returned in 2006 forming a colony of 103
nests. A mile and a half off Old Orchard and monitored by Project Puffin staff, Stratton Island offers this endangered species a
safe haven from crowded mainland beaches and from predators such as fox and raccoons.
