Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica)_UFP6852RM Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) standing of a rock shelf along the limpet line. The image reflects the hardiness of this small pint sized bird. Their life on shore is primarily to breed, and is a challenging time for the birds. From mid air food theft to death defying leaps of the edges for the young fledglings.
