Here’s a picture I took of a pair of puffins at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. This photo shows them in breeding and nonbreeding plumage.
This bird lives most of its life at sea, but they nest in burrows that can be more than 5 feet deep. A pair of puffins will feed their young tiny fish, which they line up crosswise in their bills. Sometimes they will carry as many as 20 fish at a time to their nests.

Think my previous comment got tied to another one of your posts, but I meant to add to this one that the Puffin is one of my nemesis birds as I have never been able to get a picture of one in the wild!
Thanks for the comment, Brian. I've seen them in the wild on a small island in Washington state but haven't spotted them anywhere else. They are an odd looking bird!
