Puffins

These were taken last summer on a puffin cruise out of New Harbor, Maine. Sigma 120-400 - hand held - on a boat that was rocking side to side. Grateful for continuous shooting. It was a bit frustrating but lots of fun.

Went on same boat but not at the same time as you did. I saw ONE puffin so they actually gave us free tickets for next year. GREAT company to do that and we will for sure take them up on it in June of '15

Sorry to hear that. We saw many, many. Tried to get shots of some flying but they're just too quick. Plenty of other bird, too.

Awww, they're sooo cute, aren't they? I've never seen one. These are very good shots, Dennis!

As far as I know, they only live on offshore islands and you have to go out of your way to find them. These were my first.
