Observation details
Woah. We read that the puffins get within feet of the blinds, but were still blown away by the birds. We watched their behavior closely. We saw adults fly out to sea and bring back mouths filled with fish before disappearing into burrows. The puffins constantly made their chainsaw-like calls and hopped between rocks. Our blind was lucky to see a puffling! The bird was ugly yet cute and not coordinated. It used its wings like arms to move around the rocks. We recorded a video of the puffling calling - the audio is included here.
