Project Puffin, which is told in the first person, chronicles Stephen Kress's efforts to reintroduce puffins to the Maine coast, where they once flourished, before being killed off by Euro-American settlers. Beginning in 1973, with the help of the Canadian Wildlife Service, Kress began transferring puffin chicks from the thriving Great Island colony, eventually establishing populations on Egg Rock, as well as nearby Seal Island. Using the same methods, Kress and his team also reestablished a tern colony. Profusely illustrated with color photographs, and including a brief glossary at the rear, this is an engaging and informative book, and will be of particular interest to young bird watchers and ecologists.
