The Tufted Puffin (Fratercula cirrhata) is a medium-large pelagic seabird and member of the Auk family. The distribution of the Tufted Puffin is widespread in the North Pacific Ocean and populations have generally declined throughout the southern portion of their range from British Columbia to northern California. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) conducted a burrow-nesting seabird survey of the Oregon coast in 2008 and documented an order of magnitude decline in the puffin population since the previous survey in 1988. During summer 2021, USFWS conducted an Oregon coast wide survey of the Tufted Puffin during the chick rearing period from July 14 – August 25 to assess and document the current breeding population. A total of 62 historical colonies were surveyed, 16 active colonies were documented, and no new colonies were detected. The current Tufted Puffin estimated breeding population of Oregon is 519 individuals. The breeding population remains low but stable compared to previous coastwide surveys.
