Puffin

Got a lead on a wild puffin a hundred miles away. A nesting colony of tufted puffins. Can’t-miss, can-see-it-from-all-angles, slam-dunk. We found Cape Mears….., found the rocks, three arch-rocks offshore south of the lighthouse… found all the angles. Gulls…. Cormorants… Pelicans… White colored cliffs. Got the chestnut backed chickadee. We never saw a puffin, but the chickadee almost landed on us while we were looking out at the rocks.
