Tune in to the burrow cam to get an up-close look at adults rearing their young, or check out the ledge cam to see puffins on Seal Island gathering between fishing excursions.

(Photo Courtesy of Woodlink)     Tongass in Trouble Stop Old-Growth Logging in America’s Rainforest Red-breasted Sapsuckers, Marbled Murrelets, and Queen Charlotte Goshawks in Alaska could soon see a huge swath of their habitat disappear. The U.S. Forest Service is considering a timber sale in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska that would pave the way to clear-cut an area the size of 4,600 football fields. Tell the forest service to end old-growth logging like this timber sale.
