I had one type of bird on my wish list for our Alaska trip and that was puffins. Thankfully, our excursion to Kenai Fjords National Park with Northern Latitude Adventures granted that wish. Last time we were there, I got some ‘okay’ pics of them but not worthy of sharing. This time was different.
Tufted puffins are appropriately named for the tufts of feathers that crown their heads during mating season. They have a range from the northwestern United States up along the Canada and Alaskan coasts over to Russia and Japan. During winters, they leave land and winter in the open waters of the central north Pacific.
I actually photographed two species of these cool birds; you will have to wait for pics of the other.
