*** About Atlantic Puffins: Atlantic puffins, known for their colorful beaks and compact bodies, are among the most beloved seabirds of the North Atlantic coast. These birds are particularly noted for their remarkable ability to dive underwater and swim using their wings to chase fish. Typically breeding on isolated cliff tops like those depicted in this scene, puffins form long-term pair bonds and are known for returning to the same nesting site each year. The chick, often referred to as a "puffling", relies on both parents for feeding until it can fend for itself. Conservation efforts are crucial for maintaining the populations of these charismatic birds, which face threats from climate change and fishing nets.
