From Project Puffin, "Today's super good news! Our first island crew went out yesterday - Keenan Yakola and Mikayla Ockels have left Rockland for Seal Island NWR to begin their Seabird Summer! Hopefully....PUFFIN CAMS SOON."

 ;D ;D ;D

In the UK Shetland Cliffs, they are taking nesting materials into the crevices!  :)

A couple of snips from the UK Shetland Cliffs today!  :)

I actually saw one poop shoot like our eagles, but it was too quick!  LOL  ;D

A few Puffins have returned home and are checking out the Exterior Puffin Burrow!  :)

I haven't seen Manny on the Loafing Ledge yet. So far, 2 cams are live.

Woohoo!  ;D

From Puffin Cam comments, "What a difference a day makes. Yesterday nary a puffin seen, today lots of puffins and a (confirmed by Keenan) egg in our burrow 59. I guess everybirdy was out fishing or in their burrows yesterday? They sure had me fooled. Looking forward to confirmation of our pair and of course, seeing the burrow cam go live."

I don't know how they can tell them apart! LOL But we know that Willie is banded.

Razorbills on the Loafing Ledge, but no Manny yet.  :(  At first I thought they were Guillemots, but they were too plump. Had to go ask in the Community.  ;) They have sharper black beaks and black feet.
