 puffins, off of Eastern Egg Rock, ME

puffins are hard to get close to - these were not close, I've cropped to about 1/4 the size of the original image


Here's some more if you are interested:

A really nice shot of them, and I'm terribly envious, as I have never seen a puffin in real life before. They're cute little things!

Terrific focus for such a long zoom shot. I think they are so cute with their little rounded faces. :~)

How can you not smile when you see those clown-like birds? Love the patterns in the water and the bit of color on their beaks. Cute, cute, cute :-)

Wow! These are cute. Great detail in the puffins Karen for a 1/4 crop.

Nice shooting! I have never seen one of these live anywhere either. I certainly would not want to be bitten by one. That beak looks like a serious weapon.

Atlantic Puffins are the provincial bird of Newfoundland but I've never seen them this close. Very nice.

Way cool ... I'm not familiar with Puffins as they're not native to Michigan and I haven't spent much time in Maine ... they almost look like a Toucan in the water ...
