Horned Puffin - Fratercula corniculata

The horned puffin is similar to the tufted puffin. They are seen during the summer. I heard that the horned puffin is the first summer bird to arrive here during the summer.

Horned puffins are seen in small numbers. They aren't abundant like other birds. The horned puffin is a black duck with a white face and belly. It also has a thick, sharp kind of reddish orange beak.

During the summers, horned puffins make burrows in the ground on islands where they nest and have eggs. When fall comes, they return to where they came from, to come back again the next spring.
