Two trips to see puffins at seal island on this Tuesday and Wednesday. While a no show on Tuesday as clouds moved in over only seal and matinicus island, he did make an appearance yesterday after a week absence from the island. Close looks flying, sitting and preening. Puffins, arctic terns, and Great cormorants still on the island. Murres have become more frequent with 4 seen on Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday. One of these murres was a "bridled" murre. Razorbills are completely absent from island and we have managed to only see about 3 or 5 on the water at various points. The leucistic great black-backed gull was seen at a distance on Tuesday, as well as a pair of Manx Shearwaters. Tuesday Wilson's Storm-petrels were abundant, yesterday maybe one was seen. We have seen the tropicbird 3/4 trips this year, 2/4 last summer during afternoon trips. If you can find 6 or 8 people we can build a puffin trip around your schedule.
