They’rrreee Baaack!

The Puffins have returned to the loafing ledge on Seal Island, ME and are now streaming live on explore.org. Keep your eyes peeled for mating rituals such as billing, when puffins slap there beaks together, and head flicking. They mate on the water, rarely on land. You can find more info on that in our previous post.

At times you will see researchers walking around the island, specifically going to and from the blinds (the grey structures beyond the rocks). They are researchers and conservationists for Audubon’s Project Puffin, which guided the puffins back to Seal Island and  other islands along Maine’s coast after being extirpated by humans after being over-hunted for years.

These puffins have a beautiful view of the ocean, and you will enjoy it as well!
