The Tufted Puffins at Protection Island in Washington State. When you go on a boat ride specifically with the hope of seeing a species, and you drag your family onto said boat, you had better see the birds that you want to see! Any puffin is awesome and Tufted Puffin is especially awesome!

I love puffins. Before my trip to Washington the only species of puffin I had ever seen in the wild was the puffin of the Atlantic Ocean, the appropriately named Atlantic Puffin. At $55 a head, and free for toddler Desi, the chance to see puffins from a comfortable boat seemed too good to ignore.

Ugandan Mangabeys were part of my family once. There is no feeling in the world like knowing your helping something you care about, whether its sharks or puffins, protecting forests or reefs, advancing science or communities. And you can always race for a few days afterwards). And you’ll meet amazing people too.
