www.explore.org/ - On June 28th, 2014 our Seal Island Puffin Burrow egg hatched. Watch the highlights of the egg pipping, a tiny beak breaking through, and the chick fully emerged. Finally, see the baby's first first meal: a beak-full of fish from its loving parents.

Explore.org's Puffin Burrow live cam is possible in partnership with Project Puffin, a branch of the National Audubon Society. Learn how to Adopt-A-Puffin, here: goo.gl/f3kmGZ

Cool to see how the mother Puffin helps to break the shell while being careful not to break the puffling.

from the first time I saw a puffin It just struck me as a wonderful bird, It gives the appearance to me as a bird that's strong and built well, also dignified in some strange way, and after seeing a great photo of one with a meal of small fish in it's beak I kind of knew that those where attended to feed their young so I added a good parent to the list, hope I don't find out otherwise. I think officially it's my favorite bird if not animal, Well Post Note- I find magpies just a wonderful funny and darn smart bird also. Hey, You Tube, How about a magpie cam? Thank you.

They may sound weird, but they may look so beautiful as an adult, as a baby it may has some weird sounds but it’s cute and beautiful
