Designated the official bird of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1992, the Atlantic puffin is one of three species of puffin and the only one that lives along the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic puffins are seabirds and spend most of their lives at sea. They will nest in colonies, and make nests by digging a shallow burrow or hole. Each year, they select the same mate and breeding site. In Canada, nesting usually occurs in April, and the first eggs are laid in May.
