Project Puffin’s Founder and Director Dr. Steve Kress broadcasted his latest live chat from the remote Seal Island, home of the Puffin Loafing Ledge and Puffin Burrow Cams. As he answers viewers questions about puffins, including the newly hatched puffin chick, we get a rare tour of the rocky outpost in Maine’s outer Penobscot Bay.
He opens the chat discussing the recent events on the Hog Island Osprey Nest when eagle attacks took the chicks from their home, and continues with fascinating facts about puffins such as their ability to remove saline from saltwater through glands above their eyes.
