This rare bird watching find is a bird watchers dream come true!

For most bird watching enthusiasts and bird watchers sighting an Atlantic Puffin is one of those rare sighting experiences. For these avid bird lovers, keeping an eye out for a rare sighting is of the utmost importance, and this bird is one of those rare finds that avid birders will cherish for a lifetime!

Observing one of these is a bird watcher’s dream come true because of the fact that they are not typically commonplace in the world. As the name suggests, they can only be found along the coast of the northern Atlantic Ocean and only during specific time frames of the year. If you are in the process of building a life list, or a set of goals, this is definitely one bird that will set you head and shoulders above the others.

The Atlantic Puffin is one of the most beautiful bird and they belong to the Auk bird family. It is a seabird, and this little bird survives by being a fisher in the ocean, often diving 50 feet or more to catch it’s own dinner. It is distinguished by its unique white lower body, which contrasts with it’s back and wings of midnight black. The head is black topped with white around the eyes and extending outwards to the beak. The beak is a magnificence of sweeping colors with yellow, black and red being the dominant colors, and the colorings lead to the nicknames ‘clown of the ocean’ and ‘sea parrot’ for this bird.
