Can anyone spot the puffin hiding amongst the Common Murres?

Haha..got him. Wasn't easy. Had to enlarge on flickr.

I finally found him too ... tougher than "Where's Waldo?"

Thanks for looking! Glad some people are enjoying the search. I wonder if we all see the same puffin...I suspect there are more than one, but may not have the distinctive beak/feet visible (but I know one does anyway). Personally I wish I had stopped down a bit to improve depth of field / sharpness as some of the birds are a bit blurry. But I was trying to keep the iso lower but the shutter speed high since I was on a wildly pitching boat (one of the kids got seasick actually).

Spoilers....if you have not played the game, do not read below...

Ok...the one I found is in the top left. Facing away from us at an angle. But you can see the beak. I would say ~20% of the frame down from the top and ~10% from the left of the frame.

Are there others?

The one I "think" I found is a the very bottom, left side about 1/4 over in the photo.

Upper left is the only one I found but I quit looking when I found it

That's the one I found too.

I take it back, after further review I think the one with the sharp pointy orange bill I found at the very bottom is NOT a puffin but another species I think. Can you guys (and gals) identify the bird, I cannot.

[NFLD Stephen]

Yes, the one I see is upper left as well. I believe that is the only one where the beak and feet are visible, but I see a few that may also be puffins, just facing away from the camera with feet hidden. Ultimately it is very hard to distinguish unless you see the beak and/or feet.

The one at the bottom is still a common murre, but has his beak open. The inside of their mouths is orange colored which is what you see here. Not common to see them with their mouths open though, I had to google them to be sure.

Looking for the puffin was fun, but I'm the guy who thought a vulture was and eagle, so I had no luck!
