Diving team for dinner.

The Arctic tern eats mostly small fish. They also enjoy small ocean-faring invertebrates like insects, shrimp, and krill.

These birds swoop down into the water to catch their prey just like larger airborne sea predators.

More precious than a pearl, this puffin egg is perfectly positioned for protection from predators and precipitation. 

This puffin egg will likely hatch in 6-9 days. Stay tuned to Puffin Cam! 

Back on Seal Island, our Arctic Tern Live Cam is now capturing the life and mating rituals of this sleek, beautiful bird.

Most Arctic Terns mate for life, and often return to the same nest each year where both parents shared incubation duties. See the Arctic Tern’s island life and watch the chicks hatch on the live cam this summer.

Two of our Hog Island Osprey have successfully hatched. The Audubon Society has reported that the third will not likely ever transition from egg to chick, which is not an uncommon occurrence for osprey families. 

Excited to watch the two healthy babies grow up? Head over to Osprey Cam and share your osprey name ideas for the newborns.
