Little Clown_PatCorlinPhotography

The Atlantic Puffin is known as the "clown of the sea." With just a few days notice my friend and I were informed by Captain Andy that he had a last minute cancelation at the Bold Coast Charter, Co. and we were next on the list for the trip out to Machias Island out of Cutler, Maine. Little did we know that we would be gifted with a 'Wicked Good Day' out on the Atlantic Ocean, with incredibly warm weather and smooth sailing on the calmest of seas Downeast! The weather was so incredible that we ended up having two full ours to photograph inside the bird blinds surrounded by the largest colony of Atlantic Puffins in the state of Maine! I swear I spent the entire two hours giggling at the adorable little sea birds that were just feet away from our lenses. And we could hear the pitter patter of their little webbed feet on the roof of the blinds all afternoon. What a rare treat, truly a check on my photography bucket list!
