Here’s an old one from way back in 2008 on Machias Seal Island off the coast of Maine. Atlantic puffins nest in burrows dug into the grassy soil or between rocky crevices. They return each spring to the same site, where pairs reunite and raise a single chick. Puffins here primarily feed on small fish like herring, sand lance, and hake, which they catch during short dives close to shore. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/4 at 1/2000ht of a second.

Thanks Sue. Gotta love those photo blinds that make you invisible to the birds.
Fabulous catch. Very unique.
Thanks Don.
Looks like a toy bird.
