The number one bird on my list was the iconic Horned Puffin. Horned Puffin. Rhinoceros Auklet. In addition to the Grizzly Bears , I was able to photograph Woodland Buffalo , squirrels, deer, Red Fox , and even a herd of Yaks. This turned out to be much harder that I had hoped, but I did manage to get a few decent images.

Birds like Chestnut-backed Chickadee , Pacific Wren and Pigeon Guillemot should be easy to track down for the first time Adding other alcids like Tufted Puffin or Marbled Murrelet to my life list will be much more difficult, but I have a trick or two up my sleeve to (hopefully) get them in my binoculars.

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.
