Seal Island, Maine: Atlantic Puffin Burrow Webcam

Get an intimate view inside a puffin burrow鈥攁nd even glimpse a young puffling while you're at it.

Atlantic Puffins nest in burrows tucked between large boulders, where predators have trouble reaching them. They raise one puffling (as puffin chicks are called) each year. As sea level around Seal Island rises, 探花精选 is using decoys to try to encourage the birds to nest in burrows at higher elevations to avoid flooding in lower-elevation burrows.
