Puffins and a Baby




The puffins are back and they are starting to build their nest a few sticks at a time. Last night I went out to check and see if they had made it back from their winter out at sea. They are a lot of fun to watch, a couple of times they would try and bring sticks back that were just too big for them to fly with. As soon as they got air born they would go crashing back into the water, but they figures out how to break the sticks into smaller sections that they could fly with. After watching the puffins I drove out to summer bay where the bald eagle nest is. One of the eggs has hatched, it is the little fuzz ball under the eagles head. Momma has some fresh fish for her new born, which is right under her tail feathers.
