When our children were little, I called them "puffins" because they were cute and puffy and had mysterious eyes just like puffins....now it appears that the puffin population in the North Sea is endangered. There is a wonderful set of photos in a recent Guardian article that takes a good look at one of the more beautiful and charming creatures on the planet. Behold the puffin.

Thankfully the population of puffins in Maine is still strong and growing after a period of dangerous delcine.
Gotta love those puffins.
