When is the best time to go on a puffin boat tour in Maine The boat trip season runs from mid-May through to mid-October, and is weather dependent. They spend the first few years of their lives at sea. The birds nest on rocky, island ledges and feed on cold-water fish such as hake and herring. For more information, watch the Audubon Society’s Project Puffin video. Puffins commonly return year after year to the same place they were born. In a special project, the society imported some puffins from Canada and helped them establish homes in Maine. The puffin population rebounded in the last 30 years thanks to work by the Audubon Society. In fact, puffins nearly disappeared from Maine in the early 20th century until the state passed laws to protect it and other seabirds. During this time, the Eastern Egg Rock colony is visible by boat. Although puffins are common in Newfoundland and Great Britain, they only inhabit a few rocky islands in Maine. The best time to see puffins in Maine is between April and August. One of the most unusual birds living along the Maine coast is the Atlantic puffin, which looks something like a small penguin with a painted face.
Mainers are proud of the state’s natural beauty and its wildlife.
