Description
Atlantic Puffins are generally monogamous, and one of the ways that they restore their bond is called billing. This is a practice in which the pair approach each other, each wagging its head from side to side, and then rattle their beaks together. This image was taken in mid-July this year at Elliston Point, Newfoundland.
