Due to the size of their bills, puffins are also know as sea parrots. Featured on a new 2013 USA stamp from a painting by artist Robert Giusti is this large Tufted Puffin seen here in breeding plumage with characteristic yellow feathers. These birds catch their food underwater to a depth of 70 meters. Flown in from Brookside NJ with the help from a 1988 Saw-Whet owl.
