Atlantic Puffin Photo Gallery by angelique raptakis at pbase.com

Atlantic Puffin

The Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) is a seabird species in the auk family. It is a pelagic bird that feeds primarily by diving for fish, but also eats other sea creatures, such as squid and crustaceans. Its most obvious characteristic is its brightly colored beak during the breeding seasons. Also known as the Common Puffin, it is the only puffin species which is found in the Atlantic Ocean. The curious appearance of the bird, with its colorful huge bill and its striking piebald plumage, has given rise to nicknames such as "clown of the ocean" and "sea parrot".

I absolutely love puffins... definitely my favorite bird. I have only seen them once in real life and was surprised at how small they were, and was never close enough to get a decent shot. You have captured them well! V.
