Willie & Millie's Puffin Burrow Cam

Inside Burrow 59

This camera looks directly into Burrow 59, the rocky nesting cavity where the famous Atlantic Puffin pair Willie and Millie return each spring to incubate their single egg and raise their chick. The tight, sheltered space mirrors the natural cliffside crevices these seabirds favor for nesting.

Atlantic Puffins of Seal Island

The Atlantic Puffin is one of the most charismatic seabirds of the North Atlantic, recognizable by its colorful triangular bill and clownlike face. Seal Island hosts a restored breeding colony that is among the most closely studied in the region.

Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge

Located about 21 miles off the Maine coast, the Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge is an uninhabited island managed as a protected seabird sanctuary, co-stewarded by the Audubon Seabird Institute. Its isolation makes it an ideal refuge for puffins, terns, and other nesting birds.
