A sweet puffin and a guillemot. Great shot. This puffin is snug as a bug in a rug in his little cubby rock.

INTERESTING FACT
It was onced believed that a Puffin was a fish as well as a bird. People thought it was born from rotting piece of wood floating in the sea, instead of hatching out from an egg as we know it does today.
