The PUFFIN CAM overlooks a puffin loafing area at Seal Island NWR where Audubon’s Project Puffin operates a summer field station. The Seal Island puffins were decimated by excessive hunting in 1887. The colony was restored by bringing puffin chicks to the island from Newfoundland. Now more than 500 pairs nest at the island. Watch the puffins and their relatives the razorbills and murres that now frequent Seal Island.

 

 

 

 

The PUFFIN BURROW CAM gives views of the family life of a pair of puffins at Seal Island NWR. The pair hatched a single chick, named Petey.Watch the devoted parents tend their chick in views rarely seen before. Unfortunately, Petey did not survive because of a shortage of proper size food.

 

 

 

 

The COMMON TERN CAM sits in the middle of Maine’s largest colony of Common Terns at Seal Island NWR. Watch the parents while they incubate and rear their fuzzy chicks. Terns have migrated from Seal Island and are now on their winter home in Brazil and Argentina.
