The program, “Birds on the Rocks,” brings us closer to birds that breed on the rocky coast of the Canadian Maritimes, including breeding colonies of murres, gannets, and other seabirds, plus other creatures that share the marine habitat of the North Atlantic. Featured is Maine’s Machias Seal Island colony of that most appealing of seabirds, the Atlantic puffin. The program promises to be both educational and entertaining.
