Mr. Puffin




I first came across Puffins in Alaska.

These were not in the wild but at the St. Louis Zoo in a polar exhibit. 99 degrees the day we were there but in the polar exhibit it was a welcome 42 degrees. These puffins always seem look like they have just left the beauty parlor...not a hair out of place. Whenever I see the puffins...I am taken back to the waters just off Resurrection Bay off the Alaskan Peninsula....truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to on this earth.

Heather...there probably aren't many puffins in Alabama! But they are perfect birds...not a hair out of place. They almost look fake!
