Have you ever seen a Puffin running across the water? Sure looks like he can walk on water to me.
Can’t remember what these birds are called, but I thought they were pretty cool.
Something startled up all the birds on the island and they all became airborne! Like a scary movie!
Notice the boat beached? There are people on the island studying the Puffins and other birds. The little white shack you see is where they “hide” to study the birds closely.
And here’s another shack. The birds don’t seem to mind.
Many kinds of birds find the island a great place to breed.
I sure wish the Puffins would have come closer.
But this is as close I got to one.
Seals call another island home.
It’s easy to overlook them in the water when they sit there bobbing while being curious.
It looks like it would hurt to shimmy up on the rocks.

Ahhh…the seals are so cute. We are going on an “expedition” of some sort while we are there. We are supposed to see puffins and moose. I can’t wait!

PUFFINS, they are the cutest birds, I have never seen one in the wild. Sea World has a great exhibit of them, and I loved to watch them!

Amazing photo of the puffin “walking” on water.
All are great shots. Wouldn’t it be fun to be one of the observers in the little white shacks for awhile.

The seals look so comfortable laying there on the rocks and that puffin does appear to be walking on water. I think it’s great you guys got to see them in their natural habitat. Hope all is well. Have a great weekend.

Wonderful vacation, great photos. Love the Puffins and Seals. Agree that it would seem to hurt across those rocks.
Joy said,
As a sort-of infamous blogger said about Puffins, they look like something that an eight-year-old girl would make up in her imagination.
) What a great set of photos!
Denise said,

nikkipolani said,
Cool shots of the puffins! And, yes, I think that first shot looks like it’s skipping on water.
