From CamOp/Mod Bee, "Puffins incubate their egg between 36-45 days. As the egg was already in the burrow when the researchers arrived last month, Keenan has estimated the date range the egg was laid as 5/13-5/17. This means we could expect a hatch as soon as 6/18 or as late as 6/27."

Millie yawns waiting for Willie to take his shift.  :)

Hatch watch starting, but we are not sure exactly when the egg was laid as researchers were late setting up camp.

I can't wait for a new puffling! Keenan is proposing the name to be after a long standing volunteer who passed away. He hasn't posted it yet.  :)

Keenan just proposed the name Stella for Willie and Millie's puffling this year in honor of the late volunteer, Stella Walsh.

"Hi all!

I would like to propose the name Stella after long time Project Puffin volunteer Stella Walsh who passed away back in 2017. Of course, as the viewers it is ultimately your decision, but wanted to put in my vote!

Here is a little more info...

'A lifelong resident of the Midcoast Maine region, Stella entered the birding world and never looked back after retiring from the Maine Dept of Human Services. From 1999 through 2012, she volunteered at six of the Seabird Restoration Program?s seven seabird-nesting islands. Her favorites being Seal Island NWR (always hoping to be scheduled volunteer at the same time as her bird-banding buddy, Anthony Hill) and Stratton Island for fall migration passerine banding.
She gave countless hours of her time to various Maine conservation organizations, in addition to remotely entering data from over 100,000 migration observation cards for the USGS North America Bird Phenology Program!' "
