I decided to create this page because I love puffins. There are three kinds of puffins (horned, tufted and Atlantic, or common) but I personally favor the Atlantic puffin.
I saw this adorable bird for the first time two years ago when I went on a boat tour in Witless Bay, Newfoundland. They were the cutest bird I had ever seen, and my favourite animal ever since.
The Atlantic puffin's habitat ranges from the northwest coast of Greenland to the European coast, to Maine and Newfoundland. You can easily recognize them by their colorful bill and their black and white body. They spend most of their year at sea, returning to land only to breed and raise its young. Puffins are extraordinary swimmers, and they almost fly underwater to catch thier fish.
The puffin is growing in its popularity (and you can see why!) and there are a growing number of web sites dedicated to puffins. At the bottom of this page you will find a few of my favorites.
Please click here to see some pictures of puffins.
Thanks for visiting my site. I'm still working on it, and will add more later, so please check back!
