Puffins at Machias Seal Island
Guest Post by my good friend Mike Desha

Rainy Sunday at CLDC
Me cold and wet

Three hours of banding with thick fog we closed the nets due to light drizzle and strong winds. Within the three hours of operation we captured 5 different species and banded 2 newly banded birds with 7 recaptures (total of 9 individuals).
