A little about this view

An open rocky ledge on Maine's Seal Island is a gathering place for wild Atlantic puffins during the breeding season.

A good time to watch

Late spring and summer during local daylight; puffins spend much of the rest of the year at sea.

Worth remembering

Wildlife comes and goes. A live camera can be quiet, dark or wonderfully unpredictable.
