Machias Seal Island Puffins
Machias Seal Island Puffins
During 2023 Rob embarked on one of the most memorable photography adventures I have
ever done, making two trips to out to Machias Seal Island. Rob will do a presentation on
his remarkable trip and share info making this trip.
If you’re an avid bird watcher or nature/wildlife photographer, photographing puffins is an
experience you won’t want to miss. These charming seabirds, known for their colorful beaks
and distinctive markings, can be found in various locations around the world. One such
place is Machias Seal Island, located off the coast of Cutler, Maine. Machias Seal Island
is a small, disputed island located in the Gulf of Maine, about 10 miles southeast of
Cutler, Maine, United States, and 12 miles southwest of Southwest Head, New
Brunswick, Canada in the Bay of Fundy.
