They had so much fun. Apparently, the little puffins were very friendly today. One came right up to the barrier, so close they could have picked it up! They did not though because that would set a bad example and could harm the little bird. The puffins at the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, Washington are Tufted Puffins. And they are adorable! The gave these pictures and videos to me so I can share with all of you!

You can see more puffin videos on our youtube channel  — The Puffinpalooza official youtube channel!

And yet another great photograph from victorcerutti on flickr.

This puffin is scooping down. Colorful beak. The clown of the sea swimming about finding food. Great action image capture.

Wet Atlantic Puffin

What a great photo. It shows the bill after mating season when it is not as colorful and it shows the puffin when it is wet. A very natural and wonderful photograph.

When you’ve swooped 300 feet into the cold and murky depths of
the Atlantic for your dinner, you don’t give it up without a
fight.

Even when you’re a tiny puffin and the thieves outnumbering you
are three fiercesome black-headed gulls.

This plucky puffin, smaller than a pigeon, braved an ambush by
his hungry enemies to carry a beak full of tasty sand eels back to
his nest.

It is a scene which takes place every year on the Farne Islands
off the Northumberland coast.
