I'm so glad you liked that photo--it was the only one in which you could actually see it was a puffin! And I did like the takeoff, as he ran along the water, like a stone skipping.

Yes, they said these colonies are stressed too. The fact that the razorbills take the puffins' nesting spots, pushing the puffins to the top of the cliffs, mean that the puffin babies are more vulnerable to predation by the bald eagles. I think he said the razorbills have come into this area because of troubles in their traditional nesting areas, so that's a sign of stress as well.
