Island Animals

 This weekend I got to see my favorite animal: a puffin.  I used to sign my name with a little puffin drawing, and I think it's one of the only things I would draw whenever I could get my hands on colored pencils.  Now I've seen them flying around and swimming on top of the sea in their natural habitat... some day I'll hopefully see them swim and fly underwater, where they're at their most graceful.  Did you know they spend their entire lives at sea and only come to shore to breed?  

It's been an incredible time for wildlife on the island the past few days, and below is a small sampling of what we've been seeing lately...
