Atlantic Puffins #4

This might be a puffin couple, although there was no way to tell. The male and female are about the same size with the male
slightly larger. Chicks remained in their burrows in early July and did not fledge until later in the season.
So we never saw them. In fact, they emerge from the nest only once on a nighttime
flight to the ocean to avoid predators.

Adorable! I LOVE their eyes, colorful beaks/bills and the "dimples" in their cheeks! Very fascinating! Great job to get them both tack sharp. I like their angle of poses!

Jeff and I were in Eastern Canada for two weeks this summer and we never saw one puffin, we were extremely disappointed.
