The tufted puffins of Triangle Island
Author(s):
Hodge, Deborah
Reczuch, Karen,
Description:
Thousands of beautiful tufted puffins arrive each spring to lay their eggs on the remote and rugged Triangle Island, an important ecological reserve. In this first lushly illustrated book in the Wild by Nature series, young readers will meet a pair of puffins preparing a burrow on the steep cliffside of Triangle Island, off the northwestern tip of Vancouver Island. In this remarkable place, they will lay a single egg and raise their baby. Here, the birds are protected, and there is ample space to nest and fish to eat. At summer's end, the puffins, young and old, fly away to live at sea. The young puffins will live on the ocean until they are mature enough to return to their birthplace and lay their own eggs. If Triangle Island remains undisturbed, and the ocean stays cool, clean and full of fish, the new baby puffins will continue to thrive and grow. Includes an author's note about Triangle Island and other sea birds that nest there. The books in the Wild by Nature series explore the unique links between ecologically sensitive species and habitats, and encourage the preservation of the world's wild places. (8/12)
