Mainers love it when bizarre birds from far away, make their way here. Thankfully, we're all just a bunch of gawkers trying to take photos. So these rare birds are safe-ish, perhaps other than from the elements. People have been going totally ga-ga over sightings of a Tufted Puffin. So far, Mainers have spotted this little fathered friend off of Petite Manan just out from Steuben, and Machias Seal Island, 10 miles off the coast of Cutler. Experts say that a bird like this wouldn't have flown over the interior of the U.S. to get here to Maine, so it possibly flew all the way around the Arctic Circle, a journey of nearly 5000 miles!
