I'm envious. I have to see them some day. Puffins are so cool.

    Do your research on their mating schedules. I basically missed them in Iceland. We couldn't see them with the naked eye. I had to really crop these shots. If we had gone to a different spot, a more remote spot, there were hundreds. They come right up to your feet.

    Head to Bonavista, Newfoundland (at the right time of year. Do your research first). I’ve seen puffins in a few different places but that’s where I saw the highest quantity at one time.

    It’s a shitty photo but here’s an idea, a picture I took August 2021:

    I love puffins. I’ve seen them in person several times now, they’re probably my favourite animal if you forced me to pick. I have a few pieces of art hung on my walls of puffins. I can try to get pictures later if anyone is curious to see them.

    Where'd you find this guy? Europe? We get them in Oregon seasonally as well!
