Watching Whales and Puffins Play

|

People enjoy whale watching and also seeing adorable puffins at play. If you travel to the U.S. state of Maine you can do some whale watching and see one of the largest creatures on Earth gracefully come up out of the the ocean. You can see their huge tails seem to wave at you and then just as quickly the whale goes down into the deep once more.

The best time for whale watching is from mid-April to October. It all starts when the migrating whales come back in the spring. At this time they have plenty to eat such as sand eels, copepods, plankton, and fish. In October the whales head south seeking warmer waters.

You can enjoy seeing whales all along the Maine coastline and the best way and up close is by booking a tour on a whale watching boat. You will enjoy not only seeing whales but also dolphins and seals since these creatures also want to come out and see the people waiting for them.

Traveling in Maine you can also have the pleasure of seeing puffins. These furry adorable creatures are fun to watch. The coastal islands of Maine are the only places in the U.S. where you can find nesting sites for Atlantic puffins.

You can start at the Project Puffin Visitor Center in Rockland. Visitors can see a live camera feed of puffins in activity as well as learn about conservation efforts to protect them and other Maine seabirds.

Afterwards you can hop on a puffin tour boat taking off from Mt. Desert Island or ports on the mainland like Jonesport, Cutler, Bar Harbor, Millbridge and others. It can be enjoyable watching the puffins at play.

Shining Cat Memories

|

On bright and sunny days,
I see your green eyes,

your gray shadow,
comes out of the gloom,
it brightens the room
and I seem to hear your loving purrs –
like a song in my ears.

Been gone too long,
but a bond we share,
while you and Papa are up above,
down here I go on loving you.
Soft pussy paws,
padding along,
fur against my bare legs
and I know you are near.
