Editing Cobscook Bay (section)

==Ecology==
This coastal area is home to many resident birds. One of these is the [[bald eagle]] (''Haliaeetus leucocephalus'') and Cobscook Bay has more pairs of these rare birds per square mile than the rest of Maine. It also houses 25% of the state's [[American black duck|black duck]] (''Anas rubripes'') population. In the fall, the bay is used by large numbers of birds migrating southwards from their summer breeding grounds. Rare species of bird to be seen here include the [[harlequin duck]] (''Histrionicus histrionicus''). An invertebrate of special concern is the mystery snail (''[[Vertigo paradoxa]]''), an air-breathing land snail.<ref name=focusarea/> In the summer several species of whale enter the bay, including the [[minke]], [[fin whale]] and [[right whale]].<ref name=Resource/>
