Another one from back in the day. I captured this image of Atlantic puffins on my first visit to Machias Seal Island off the coast of Maine. It’s an interesting place, and a disputed territory between the United States and Canada. We say it’s part of Maine. They say it’s part of New Brunswick. Canada owns the lighthouse on the island. Maine runs birdwatching tours and maintains a series of hides that allow for close encounters with nesting puffins, razorbills and other sea birds. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 160mm) ISO 100, f/4 at 1/2000th of a second.
What a lovely shot. Puffins are high on my bucket list. I will keep this image of yours in mind should I get back to Maine again & try to book a boat ride out to Machias Seal Island.

Stunning!
AWWWW! As if they weren’t cute enough! What a delightful shot.!
Great photo — I’ve never seen one of these in person but love their colorful faces
Love how they canoodle! I visited Machias Seal Island several years ago. The photo ops were fantastic, without bothering the puffins.
