Description

One more from my Puffin tour out of New Harbor in Bristol, Maine via Hardy Boat Cruises to Eastern Egg Rock where the Puffin Colony is located. It is the southern most colony in the Atlantic Ocean.

Like many Maine coast seabird colonies, nesting seabird populations were diminished and eventually extirpated by a combination of egging, hunting for meat and feathers, and displacement by expanding Herring and Great Black-backed Gull populations that increased in response to fishing practices and municipal waste. Prior to recolonization, puffins last nested in 1885 and terns last nested in 1936. [Audubon website]
