Definitely an apt name for them...

>> Re puffins, my interest goes back to the year I was nine. I was collecting stamps--sort of--and sending away for some of those packages you could get for a small fee. One of the offers was for a set of stamps from "Puffin Island." I got them and was sure that the birds were actually cartoon characters! Nothing in real life could look like that!

In fact, they came right over, and I sat in the grass with them for quite awhile and have some great pictures. I didn't know then that we have them here, as well.  There's a Puffin Project out of Maine and also a live Puffincam site.
