On the outlying islands from Seward, Alaska, the two species of puffins we saw were Tufted Puffins and Horned Puffins. This one is aTufted, based on the long yellow tufts attached at the back of its head. When they fly, the tufts stream out in the wind.
These Horned Puffins were photographed on island cliffs in Alaska, near the Northwest Glacier.
A few miles north of Seward, this large and beautiful lily pond was right beside the highway. It was filled with Indian Pond Lilies, with their bright yellow blooms. Judith Sparhawk
