Tufted Puffin

The Tufted Puffin is found along the Pacific coast from Alaska to southern California. They nest along the entire Oregon coast on coastal rocks where soil topped islands exist.

Tufted Puffins need enough of a slope to give them the right amount of lift to take off into the air from the rock or nest site location. Although they are not the most graceful birds in the air they are a graceful and beautiful winged-propelled diver..
