I took this off of protection island a few months ago. We could only find 3 puffins. This used to be one of the largest colonies on the west coast. I talked with a marine biologist who said it was predation by eagles that have changed this area. Too many chicks picked off so they don’t return. So sad…they are really cool birds.
They are characters.
That is heartbreaking news about the Puffin. They are cool birds.
I am so sad…I thought maybe I just mis-timed it this year…
