A nice shot of this intermediate plumage.

I usually get to see one each summer but haven't yet.

Looks just lovely to me, Lisa! Beautiful shot... Nice to see birds that I'm not familiar with at all. (I posted another puffin shot, but with sand eels, as you seem to enjoy this kind of image.. great birds aren't they?!)
