Machias Seal Island is probably the best place to see puffin at close range in North America. The island is located between the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy, about 10 miles southeast of Cutler, Maine. Ownership of the Island is disputed by the US and Canada. A large colony of Arctic terns defend themselves and the puffins from predators by attacking everything they believe is a threat including, black-backed and herring gulls, skuas, birders, and photographers.

1. Sharing a rock together while standing on dried guano is not a foundation for a long-term relationship.
2. In case you foolishly forget: I am never going to be your type.
