 Mainebirding :: Puffin Information
Puffins have long been hunted in some parts of their range and are a common food item in Iceland and the Faeroe Islands today.
Puffins never came back to 4 of the other 5 islands on their own maybe because of the large populations of gulls, especially the large, aggressive and always hungry Great Black-backed Gulls.
Today there are puffin breeding colonies on at least 4 of the original 6 islands off the coast of Maine: Eastern Egg Rock, Seal Island NWR (re-introduced colonies), Matinicus Rock and Machias Seal Island (natural colonies).
