From The Bow Seat - Puffins
High School / Science / Environmental Science
From the Bow Seat is a 64-minute (three part) educational documentary filmed by Linda Cabot and her teenage daughters which explores some of the environmental issues impacting the Gulf of Maine. In this excerpt, the filmmakers explore the ecology of Atlantic puffins, small seabirds (they look a little like penguins, but they can fly!). Puffins were hunted for their eggs, feathers and meat, and they had all but disappeared from Maine by the early 1900s.
