Puffins in Rauðanes, Iceland

Puffins are one of Iceland's most beloved and iconic birds, known for their distinctive appearance, characterized by their colorful beaks and striking black and white plumage. The Atlantic puffin is particularly prevalent in Iceland, where it breeds in large colonies along the coastal cliffs during the summer months.
From late April to early September, puffins can be spotted nesting in burrows on the rugged cliffs of Iceland's coastline. The most famous locations for puffin watching include the Westman Islands, Látrabjarg cliffs in the Westfjords, and Dyrhólaey near Vík í Mýrdal.
Puffins are skilled swimmers and divers, using their wings to propel themselves underwater while hunting for fish, their primary food source.
In addition to their ecological significance, puffins hold cultural importance in Iceland. They are often featured in local art, folklore, and cuisine.

Brief diversion from your regularly scheduled bird filled feed...

This gray squirrel was "riding" this tree branch almost as if it was a tree slide! Funny little guys!
