: Aug 18, 1984 at Otter Point and Aug 5, 2005 at Bar Harbor. Records accepted by the as frigatebird, species undetermined.
Miscellany: Neither of these records was documented well enough to exclude the world's four other frigatebirds but two of the four have never been recorded in our hemisphere and the other two have been recorded less than five times each and only once on the Atlantic Coast albeit that in Deer Isle, ME Jul 3, 1960. Magnificent Frigatebirds are recorded somewhere in New England almost every year and we choose to list local frigatebirds under this species.
