Record number of breeding puffins in the Gulf of Maine
Seal Island has set a record for breeding puffins, with 672 active puffin burrows counted, about 100 more than the last census five years ago. Measures to restore the island’s populations started in 1992, after a century’s absence due to hunting in the late 1800s. Razorbills, a larger cousin of the puffin, are also doing well, with 101 active burrows recorded. Portland Press Herald
