For #NationalBirdDay in the USA, another one of my favorite native birds, by one of my favorite artists:
Charley Harper (USA, 1922-2007)
The Name is #Puffin, 1971
Serigraph, image 13 x 19 in.

image (#569/750):

#BirdsInArt
color serigraph in landscape orientation, image of an Atlantic Puffin flying in side profile over an ocean wave and blue sky with four small fish in mouth, in signature Charley Harper graphic art style - signed and numbered 569/750 along bottom margin "If you’re like me, you never forget a face, but can’t recall the name, so you invent elaborate reminders. Take this funny-looking bird with the false nose, the pasted-on eyebrows, the bright cheek smears – Emmett Kelly with feathers. I have to say to myself: proceeding precipitously, approaching the populous puffinry with ponderous proboscis packed with piscatorial pabulum for the plumping, precocious puffling, he rhymes with muffin. I’ll never forget what’s-his-name." - Charley Harper

It was #WorldPuffinDay yesterday, Puffins mate for life with only a tiny percentage of divorce & cheating.
Puffin females choose partners based on the size of the beak, bigger, brighter equals better.

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the puffins, for today is their special day!

To celebrate World Puffin Day, here is an engraving of a puffin from 'Animated Nature Vol. 2' (1821) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.

Happy #WorldPuffinDay! Puffins are known locally as "tammie norries” and arrive at their breeding colonies in Orkney from late April to August. May and June are the best puffin-spotting months.

Reviews of Ruby Free's beautiful book on #rathlinisland. Artwork all Ruby's own.

Rathlin, A Wild Life is a love letter to the island and the #wildlife Ruby finds there, but it’s also a call to action; a reminder of everything we stand to lose if we don’t change.

I just learned that today is World Puffin Day. I had no idea that was a thing but I'm excited to know it exists!

Here is a gallery of some of my favourite puffin images taken at Elliston and Bonavista.

Today is #WorldPuffinDay! I took these photos of puffins off Pearl Island, Nova Scotia last summer. Pearl Island is off the coast of Peggy's Cove and there are boat tours to the island each summer. #birds

I love these goofs. They are often referred to as “clowns of the sea” and their chicks are known as “pufflings”.

I took this video of Atlantic Puffins in Elliston, NL. #WorldPuffinDay

✨ Happy #WorldPuffinDay!

Did you know that:
🐣 Baby puffins are called pufflings?
🧡 They dress to impress during the breeding season? They develop brightly-coloured bills, orange legs and very distinctive red and black eye markings.

The Internet tells me it’s #worldpuffinday. So here are a couple of puffins, photographed off the Maine coast a few years ago.

It's been World Puffin Day all day today. I haven't stopped.
A collective noun for a group of puffins is a circus.
