Puffin Portrait Image
You can enjoy this striking piece of art created by a local artist.  This dapper bird, the Atlantic Puffin is the smallest of the puffins, They can be found from Maine up to Newfoundland and Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, United Kingdom, Spain, Norway and Russia, though about half of the entire global population nests in Iceland. Atlantic Puffins were heavily hunted in the United States and by the early 1900s, no nesting colonies remained. Ornithologist Stephen Kress helped re-establish the Maine colony on Eastern Rock during the 1970s and 1980s by transplanting chicks from Newfoundland and using decoy birds to lure the fledglings back once they matured. Due to his work and the work of others there are now several colonies on various Maine islands.
