[Tweeters] Tufted Puffins, YES! (thank you)

A few weeks ago I contacted this group in advance of my visit to Seattle. In particular, I asked about Tufted Puffins and how I might find them. I received at least 10 very helpful responses.  I ended up going on the Puget Sound Express trip out of Port Townsend on Saturday, Sept 7.  We not only viewed about a dozen puffins – some fairly close to the boat – but also gained excellent views of the Red-footed Booby that I'd heard about prior to the trip.  What a bonus!  I was happy to see Rhino Auklet, Common Murre and Pigeon Guillemot as well.  It was a very fun and successful cruise!

Thanks again to all of you who assisted with my outreach. I am so grateful to the Seattle birding community.
