Puffin Watch: Help us name our adopted puffin

Earlier this year, NEWS CENTER Maine "adopted" a puffin through the Audubon's Project Puffin. We'd like your help naming it!

PORTLAND, Maine — You may remember earlier this year we announced that we'd adopted a puffin through the Audubon's Project Puffin. 

It's something anyone can do on the Adopt-A-Puffin section of their website for a reasonable donation.

Our bird is called "EN78," but we think that's no name for a puffin, so we'd like your help in naming it.

Right now, the only name we're kicking around is Ian.

A couple of facts to help you out: 

  • EN78, also called "the joyful one," is a male
  • They're not sure how old he is but he was first tagged in 2016 
  • He spends his summers at Eastern Egg Rock

Send us those names, we'll share a couple, and pick one toward the end of the Olympics.
