--001a1132ecc0fad28d0516207b10 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 15 May 2015 Ralph Eldridge reported the following from Machias Seal Island in New Brunswick: *"The initial Puffin nest check conducted yesterday only found 2 occupied nests and 1 egg. Something is certainly going on and I'm worried that it's nothing good. There are some birds on the water but nowhere near what there should be. Some birds are coming ashore from time to time but few are staying very long. It's now 3 to 5 weeks beyond the time they are usually settled into the summer routine. Right now, it seems to me that a handful of very dedicated birds have settled into their breeding/nesting cycle while the vast majority either haven't started or have given up. Just speculation on my part but something is very, very, odd."* Can anyone comment on the situation with puffin colonies in Nova Scotia?
