Iceland Bird Colonies
The first and third photos are ATLANTIC PUFFINS. As we approached the Puffins, everyone crowded the viewing area. I took these photos by extending my arms as high as they would go and holding the camera toward the viewing area, hoping there would be a Puffin in the photo. With 4 million in the area, I thought the chances were good that I would find one. The link above will take you to more Puffin photos.

When baby Puffins leave their nests for the first time, they will often head towards the lights of the nearest town. The local children rescue the puffins and help them find their way back to sea. I enjoy this video of the Wrong Way Puffins.
