10,000 Birds

MAY 30, 2017

When Daisy started talking about a family trip to Maine for the long Memorial Day Weekend I had one thing on my mind: puffins! Atlantic Puffins are easier to see, and see well, in Maine than anywhere else in the United States. I spotted two puffins on the way out though they were distant and took off before we got close.

Joseph Chiera is a Masters student in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College in NYC and a “somewhat newbie” to birding. The hotel owner told us that visiting them in the evening had the best showing of puffins as they returned to the cliffs from the sea. A great meal but I was eager to get to the bird cliffs.

Having shown us the bird, the boat, and the water, Fox then introduces herself: “Albatrosses, petrels, fulmars, puffins and gulls live out their lives along these transect lines; my job is to count them all.”. This is the story of Fox’s experiences on board the Achiever, the research vessel of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
