Atlantic Puffin, Cape Breton, Canada
Puffin Take Off

Species: Atlantic Puffin | Location: Cape Breton, Canada

By Adam Hill

Puffins and many other species of sea birds live on the cliffs of Cape Breton's Bird Islands. In the summer the waters are filled with guillemots, puffins, razor bills, ruddy turnstones, herons, eagles and kittiwakes. A short trip around these islands and you'll be amazed at how much life these two small islands can support.
