Y33, is the oldest known nesting PUFFIN in North America. This 35 year old female was one of the original chicks brought to Egg Rock Island off the coast of New England in 1977. My mother, Dorothea Rosenstein who died in 1981, was part of this program that helped restore this lost puffin colony. As you know from our Mission Statement, we are the Puffin Foundation West as we believe sometimes you need to interfere to make things right! So, if you are still looking for that uniquely special way to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Consider adopting a puffin from Eastern Egg Rock. This is a project of the AUDUBON SOCIETY and is not related at all to Puffin Foundation West’s work. 
Your tax-deductible gift will help protect Maine puffins and your Valentine will receive a biography, photo and certificate of adoption.
