Cross Island
Cross Island NWR is a complex of six islands (Cross, Scotch, Outer Double Head Shot, Inner Double Head Shot, Mink, and Old Man Islands) that encompasses 1,700 acres in the town of Cutler. Cross, Mink, and Scotch islands are covered predominantly by spruce-fir forest and supports a variety of small mammals, white-tailed deer, bald eagles, ospreys, and song birds. A large salt marsh is located on the western end of Cross island. During the fall, thousands of waterfowl, songbirds, shorebirds, and raptors pass through on their southward migrations. The Double Head Shots and Old Man Islands are covered predominantly by grasses and shrubs and are used by nesting seabirds. Old Man Island is one of only four nesting sites for razorbills in the Gulf of Maine.
