It is a pelagic seabird that feeds primarily by diving for fish. It nests in Bird colony colonies , often with other auks. The yellow bill plate grows before the breeding season and is shed later. They have a small fleshy black horn above their eyes. They have a white face with a dark line extending from the back of the eye and red feet. This species breeds on rocky islands off the coasts of Siberia , Alaska and British Columbia , in burrows, in rocky cavities or among rocks. It winters far out to sea. Feeding areas are usually located fairly far offshore from the nest. There is usually one chick and both parents feed the young. Horned Puffins will return from hunting with several small fish in their beaks. They also eat squid and crustacean s. The population of these birds has declined due to the introduction of rats onto some islands used for nesting.

Unreferenced date May 2007 Dr. Stephen W. Kress of the National Audubon Society started Project Puffin in 1973 in an effort to learn how to restore puffins to historic nesting islands in the Gulf of Maine . At that time, literally all the puffin eggs in Maine were located on two small islands Matinicus Rock and Machias Seal Island . Although puffins are not an endangered species they are abundant in Newfoundland and Labrador Newfoundland , Iceland , and United Kingdom Britain , they are quite rare in Maine. The two surviving groups were very vulnerable to a disaster such as an oil spill , or accidental introducing of predators such as rats or mink . File Kress and puffin large.jpg left thumb Stephen Kress and a puffin on Easter Egg Rock. The project began with an attempt to restore puffins to Eastern Egg Rock Island Eastern Egg Rock in Muscongus Bay , about six miles away from Pemaquid Point . Puffins had nested on the islets until hunters took out the last survivors of this once flourishing colony . The restoration of puffins to Eastern Egg Rock is based on the fact that young puffins usually return to breed on the same island where they hatched. Young puffins from Great Island Newfoundland and Labrador Great Island where about 160,000 pairs nest were transplanted to Eastern Egg Rock when they were about 10 14 days old. The young puffins were then nested in artificial sod burrow s for about one month. Audubon biologists placed handfuls of vitamin fortified fish in their burrows each day and, in effect, took the place of parent puffins. As the young puffins reached fledging age the time when birds leave the nest , they received bird ringing identification tags so they could ... time an attempt had been made to restore a puffin colony, the outcome is unknown.

Image PuffinCrossing.jpg thumb right 100 Puffin control panel A pedestrian user friendly intelligent crossing puffin crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing in use in the United Kingdom . It differs from a pelican crossing in that the lights controlling the pedestrians are on the near side of the road, rather than on the opposite side. The system also utilises sensors which detect the presence of pedestrians waiting at the crossing, and as they are crossing the road. Unlike the older Pelican and Toucan crossing designs, where the pedestrian signal lights are mounted on the opposite side of the road, the puffin crossing mounts them at the near road side, set diagonally to the road edge. The stated reason for this design was to allow the pedestrian to monitor passing traffic while waiting for the signal to cross. ref name dft.gov.uk http www.dft.gov.uk pgr roads tss gpg puffingoodpracticeguide.pdf Foreword, Puffin Good Practice Guide, Department for Transport, 2006 ref A second stated reason for the design is that having the lights closer to the user would assist visually impaired people who could have difficulty viewing the signal from across the carriageway. ref name dft.gov.uk In addition to the positioning of the crossing control lights, some push button units the lower box in the picture are also fitted with a tactile knob under the unit which rotates when the user may cross.
