I have been trying to look up weather conditions when the Tufted Puffin has been spotted on The Captain Fish Puffin Cruise to Eastern Egg Rock but no luck. Has this bird been seen on this trip when the weather has been clear and sunny. Seems it’s there mostly during fog and showers in the area. Thanks for any help. Leon Mooney

Given that MOST days since early June have been foggy and/or rainy, the odds would seem to favor that the puffin would be seen more often in those conditions. :)

With responses like this, no wonder this group is quiet.

Perhaps I can help with a little research. I took a look at recent ebird postings for Eastern Egg Rock.

Looking at the photos attached to the records it appears to be foggy on July 10th and on the 15th of last July it was hard to discern the weather.

I find this site to be useful for looking at weather history.

It was meant to be funny! :) No offense intended.
