puffin colony restored to Maine

.

In the 1800s, people destroyed the seabird colonies on Egg Island.

In the 1980s, people enticed puffins and terns to return to the island  How cool is that!






Nearly every day I click through the "Click here to give, it's free!" button with the kitten on it -- in the sidebar on the right. My clicks on pages in that cluster of related sites trigger donations by sponsors. I click for several of the sites, nearly every day. I start with the animals and the rainforest..... Today, when I got to the rainforest part of the site I saw a link for the video above.

We humans have destroyed (and are destroying) so much of our beautiful planet. I was glad to see an example of something good we have done!
