The Tufted Puffin is the largest North Pacific puffin. Breeding adults dig burrows on grassy islands or use rock crevices, then commute offshore to catch fish for a single chick. Their long golden head plumes and bright orange bill are seasonal ornaments; outside the breeding season the face darkens and the bill becomes smaller and duller.
