Atlantic Puffin #3

This is the first of a number of puffin shots taken at the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve that I will be posting. Note that the puffins
were standing on the edge of a cliff in the first group of shots.

Adult puffins are about 12" in height and weigh approximately one pound. Their average life span is 20 years.
