While we wait for the Puffins to return, I'll post information from Cornell.

The best time to find Atlantic Puffins is during the breeding season. From late April through August they come ashore to nest on islands—the rest of the year they’re far out at sea. In the U.S. the best bet is to take a boat trip to rocky islands off Maine. Elsewhere, puffins nest in larger numbers in Canada, Scotland, Greenland, Norway, and especially Iceland, which is home to about half the global population. In these countries, a visit to a puffin colony can provide great views of hundreds to thousands of the birds. Outside of the breeding season, you’ll likely need to take a pelagic birding trip well offshore to find one.

Baby puffins keep getting lost, so the whole town comes out at night to help the little guys out 💙

Asa explains why the puffins keep getting lost, and shared this very unique Icelandic tradition with us!
