landing in fog

without instruments ...

a puffin

he'll dig a burrow

three feet deep ...

his nest

The photo was taken in Newfoundland near Ferryland on July 21, 2012.  Puffins nest underground in deep burrows.  Both birds dig the burrow about three feet long using the claws on their feet.  The male prepares a nest, and the female lays one egg.
