The Audubon Puffin Loafing Ledge live webcam overlooks the "loafing ledge" on Seal Island, 21 miles off the coast of Maine (see map below). The loafing ledge is a prime spot for puffins to congregate, with plenty of "exit routes" in every direction in case a hawk or gull attacks.
Some interesting facts about puffins:
- There are three species of puffin, the Atlantic puffin, Tufted puffin and Horned puffin.
- Puffins only sport their brightly coloured beak during the summer breeding season. In winter their beaks turn a dull gey colour.
- Puffins are know as fab flyers with their wings flapping at up to 400 beats per minute.
- Puffins only weigh between 500g and 800g
