Puffins

 

Atlantic Puffins inhabit rocky islands in the North Atlantic, from Maine to points north and across the North Atlantic to Brittany.  Atlantic Puffins strut about in breeding colonies, circling their islands with rapid wingbeats, diving up to 200 feet underwater to capture small fish, or simply bobbing around in nearby waters.  With their black-and-white "tuxedo," upright posture, comical behavior, and large, multicolored bill, this smallest of puffins, called the "clown of the sea," universally delights birders and tourists alike.  National Audubon Society
