There was some puffin signings here in North California the other day. I had no idea they'd travel this far south....

I 💛puffins

Tang is a beverage! Oooolalala zshow must go on!

In 2015 I was in Alaska on a whale watching boat. We saw the two species of puffins. There was a humpback and a Fin whale feeding close by where the puffins where. The ranger on the boat said sometimes the puffins will be swallowed by the whales as they are feeding but the whales spit them out.

They Also Found In Nova Scotia That's Where I Live.
