"Not a-Huffin'... just a Puffin!" (Fratercula arctica)

Earlier this year, on my visit to Machias Seal Island 10 miles off the coast of Maine, this Atlantic Puffin decided to rest for a few moments on the rock just outside our small blind. The bird was so close that I didn't need to use my scope or even the telephoto on my point-and-shoot camera!
