Guess Who’s Back, Back Again!?

Hello, we’re baaaack! Welcome back to Seal Island, where the puffins hop, terns soar, and guillemots bask on the sun-warmed rocks. As you’ve seen by now, the Starlink connection to Seal Island has been restored – all because of the explore.org cam team’s hard work! We hear they were amazing island guests, as well! Thanks to them, we get to view Willie and Millie in Burrow #59 for this entire season, as well as our loafing ledge, exterior view, and Guillemot cam!

Coco (Seal Island supervisor) and the rest of the team has been hard at work conducting puffin productivity checks, also known as prod. Shockingly, over a third of our prod burrows already have an egg inside, which is pretty wild! It is fairly unusual to find so many eggs this early, but last year, the birds were also on the early side. And Willie and Millie are experienced parents by now, so it’s not too surprising that they are among the early ones!

In celebration of World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, May 11, let’s talk migration! Maine has more than 130 species of migratory breeding birds, Atlantic Puffins being one of them. Migratory birds like puffins embark on journeys that span thousands of miles across oceans to their wintering or breeding ranges. After first swimming through the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Atlantic Puffins then go south to winter in waters around 200 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. Finally, they go to New England's famed "coral canyons", vast underwater chasms and submerged mountain ranges deeper than the Canyon. But by May and June, puffins leave their watery rafts to nest and raise young on coastal islands such as Seal.

Welcome back to Seal Island, everyone! And Happy Mother's Day to our lovely Millie. 💐

A new season!  :-*



☀️A beautiful new day and a happy heart seeing our Willie tending to his lovely Millie🥰🙏❤️ Good morning everyone❣️ posted by Puffluv
