Two days
ago, the subject was about puffins going out from the break of dawn to the last
light of day to catch fish and feed their unique offspring. For an alcidae (same bird family as the
penguin and all the Antarctica penguins), the
puffin offspring develops itself very fast.
Thanks to the rich northern waters such as the St-Lawrence River
at this time of the year. The hatching
period and the first days following the offspring birth coincides with the
spawning period of the cods and the sand-eels along the shoreline. For the puffins, to be back with a beak full
of fish is a matter of one dive. If the
school of fish is close to the cliff, it’s only a matter of a few minutes. Have a good day. Louis
