Question: Which state is home to the only Atlantic puffin colony in the U.S.?
Answer: For Atlantic puffins, the only state to find them is Maine. Atlantic puffins were once nearly extinct, but thanks to Project Puffin, which restored them to Eastern Egg Rock, these birds now thrive on Maine’s rocky islands. The best time to see them is from April to August when they return to breed. You can find large colonies of horned and tufted puffins in Alaska, and Washington and Oregon also have declining tufted puffin populations.
