Manny will be going into storage for the Winter and have some maintenance done - repair, touch-up paint, etc. Bye-bye Manny!  :)

If you haven't watched this chat with Dr. Steve Kress from Project Puffin and Keenan Yakola, it is informative about Seal Island, Maine and the Puffin Project, and especially, Bucky. (July 12, 2019)
Did you know Bucky was named after National Audubon's Past-President Carl Buchheister.  :)

And previously, from Keenan - more about Seal Island (June 19, 2018)

If you are visiting Maine, Project Puffin has a Visitor Center: https://projectpuffin.audubon.org/visit-us/project-puffin-visitor-center

You can "adopt" a Puffin here: https://projectpuffin.audubon.org/get-involved/adopt-puffin

From taped highlights, here are some Puffins with their "Winter" beaks.  :) I don't know which day this is from.

Someone spotted a puffling visiting (or leaving) the exterior burrow!  :) Keep these little ones in your thoughts and prayers as well as the people and animals within Dorian's path in the Atlantic!

Taken in this past July, there is amazing footage of an airborne Puffin in flight in this video!  :)

I love the way they seem to glide effortlessly! And their beak tapping - so cute! :-*
