Puffin Boulder Berm Seabird Cam

A Seabird Metropolis on the Rocks

The Boulder Berm acts as an urban center for the seabirds of Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge. Where individual burrows offer private glimpses of family life, this wide vista reveals the whole community in motion as Atlantic puffins shuttle between the sea and their nests in the deep granite crevices.

An Island Restored for Wildlife

Lying in the outer Gulf of Maine off Vinalhaven, this remote, treeless island was the site of a landmark seabird restoration effort. Decades of careful management have returned thriving colonies of puffins, terns, and guillemots to its rugged shores.

Life Among the Granite

The jumbled weathered boulders provide both shelter and stage. Visitors can watch puffins loafing on the rocks, defending burrow entrances, and ferrying fish back to their chicks, while waves break against the exposed coastline behind them.
