2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Atlantic Puffin, Machias Seal Island, Maine, United States of America
Atlantic Puffin Portrait

Species: Atlantic Puffin | Location: Machias Seal Island, Maine, United States of America

This photo was shot on Machias Seal Island, about 10 miles off the coast of Maine. A small boat takes tours out to the island where you can view the nesting birds from blinds. I caught this guy straight on. Normally birds look funny straight on, but I like the way this one turned out.
