The Live Puffin Cams are down for the season, they’ll be back online in the spring. We promise!

The Puffin Cam is Located 21 miles off the coast of Maine on Seal Island, this live puffin cam shows the comings and goings of a pair puffin parents, leaving their burrow and returning with bills full of fish to feed their chick, nestled safely inside. We hope to catch the moment at summer’s end when the puffling fledges, leaving home for the first and last time, going out to sea alone to return to Seal Island in two or three years

These birds mate for life and use unique vocalizations and behaviors to communicate with each other. They are also remarkable in that they are capable of flying underwater, using their wings to swim and catch fish. Puffins are found in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, nesting in colonies on rocky islands and cliffs. They are a popular bird species known for their cuteness and are often featured in wildlife documentaries and conservation efforts.
