When Daisy started talking about a family trip to Maine for the long Memorial Day Weekend I had one thing on my mind: puffins!

On our first morning after breakfast, my group and the teens piled onto a boat and headed out to Eastern Egg Rock, once again the breeding ground for Atlantic Puffins (as well as a host of other seabirds) thanks to biologist Dr. Stephen Kress. What was it like?” I asked one of the teens, when eventually they rejoined us.
