I was lucky enough to get to Machias Seal Island twice in late June. Both times with Andy Patterson of Bold Coast Tours on beautiful days for sailing and puffin watching. On the trip I had about an hour in the observation blinds at the far end of the island(from the lighthouse). On the second day, the scene changed as I was in the blind right behind the lighthouse.
The puffins gave me many opportunities for head shots, as well as the traditional photos of groups of puffins "loafing" on the rocks. I did not catch any puffins flying in with fish in their bills, as most of the eggs had not hatched. So I'm making one more long trip up to Machias, Cutler and Machias Seal Island in late July.
