the bird genus Fratercula with
a brightly coloured beak during the breeding season. These are pelagic seabirds
that feed primarily by diving in the water. They breed in large colonies on
coastal cliffs or offshore islands, nesting in crevices among rocks or in
burrows in the soil. Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are
found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the
North Atlantic Ocean. Source
