Keenan posted in chat, "Hi all, thought you might be interested to know that today while in a blind near burrow 59 I saw Willie, Billie, Phoebe and Pal!"

I know Billie was Willie's first mate and when he couldn't find her on return to Seal Island, he took Millie, I think Phoebe and Pal are offspring, but not certain. Before Bucky, there was Gracie. The pufflings do not return to land for 2 years after leaving the nest.

A bit of trivia from chat, "Willie is 18 yrs old. He was banded as a chick in 2002 on Eastern Egg Rock."  :)
