Happy Birthday Puffin Friend!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

One of our young readers had a birthday this week! And we wanted to wish her a very, very happy birthday! When we told the Maddhatress about our new friend having a birthday—she painted her a couple of happy birthday pictures! We scanned them in and here they are…

Happy Birthday from the Maddhatress (and Puffinpalooza.com)

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.

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.
