21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Quite the Mouthful

We went on a trip to Maine to see the puffins on Machias Seal Island in July 2023. There were hundreds of puffins flying out to sea to gather small fish and eels and then come back to shore to feed the chicks. I caught this puffin right after he landed with a mouthful of sea creatures for the chicks
