Puffins!

Puffins spend most of their time out at sea, and when they are not swimming they rest on the waves.

Have you ever floated on your back in the water?

These amazing birds can be found from the eastern coast of Canada and the United States to the western coast of Europe.

Atlantic puffins have distinctive black and white feathers and their head has a rather large parrot like beak. They are very unique looking!

The puffin is a pelagic seabird, which means it dives in the open ocean to feed.

Breeding colonies of puffins are generally found on offshore islands or coastal cliffs.

These funny looking birds are amazing swimmers! Using their webbed feet to help guide them, puffins can dive down over 100 feet in search of fish to eat.
