Description

On a recent trip to St.Louis Zoo, we had an opportunity to see the puffins. This particular fellow was giving me quite a glare down. When I started to focus on a bird which was swimming, suddenly I was dive-bombed by this fellow. Water splashed in my eyes,all over my hair and clothes as well as my camera. All
worked out though.. the camera was fine! No harm was done to any animals during this shoot session, except for me being soaked!

he puffins are stocky, short-winged and short-tailed birds, with black upper parts and white or brownish-grey underparts. The head has a black cap, the face is mainly white, and the feet are orange-red. The bill appears large and colourful during the breeding season. The colourful outer part of the bill is shed after the breeding season, revealing a smaller and duller true bill beneath.

Although the puffins are vocal at their breeding colonies, they are silent at sea. They fly relatively high above the water, typically 10 m (30 ft) as compared with the 1.6 m (5 ft) of other auks..
