Atlantic Puffin

Atlantic Puffin - Elliston, Newfoundland, Canada Yesterday I sorted 9,000 images from my recent trip to Newfoundland, Canada. ( Daunting task it was) I hope to be posting more images as I edit them. Each year 2600 Puffins come to breed in Elliston, Newfoundland. I was there in earlier this month photographing the first arrivals for four days. They have difficulty becoming airborne and flap their wings at an amazing 300 to 400 beats per minute to maintain flight. Puffins are poor fliers they have trouble landing and often crash onto the sea or tumble onto the grass. - Connect with me- Like my page facebook.com/jorelcuomophotography www.jorelcuomo.com Instagram: jorel_cuomo Twitter: jorelcuomo Canon 7D2 + 600mm F4 IS + 1.4 extender III @ 1/2500 F6.3 ISO 1000 ‪#‎newfoundland‬ ‪#‎puffin‬ ‪#‎puffins‬ ‪#‎elleston‬ ‪#‎bird‬ ‪#‎pelagicbirds‬ ‪#‎jorelcuomo‬ ‪#‎AtlanticPuffin‬ ‪#‎floating‬ ‪#‎ocean‬ ‪#‎sea‬ ‪#‎Animal‬ ‪#‎AnimalThemes‬ ‪#‎AnimalsInTheWild‬ ‪#‎Closeup‬ ‪#‎Day‬ ‪#‎Focus‬ ‪#‎OnForeground‬ ‪#‎FrontView‬ ‪#‎Idyllic‬ ‪#‎Nature‬ #Ocean ‪#‎OneAnimal‬ ‪#‎Scenics‬ #Sea ‪#‎SelectiveFocus‬ ‪#‎TranquilScene‬ ‪#‎Tranquility‬ ‪#‎Water‬ ‪#‎Wildlife‬
