We watched as several puffins jumped/flew to the pool below. This is a true-to-life situation, as puffins nest on grassy slopes, often high above the ocean.

Apparently it is not too unusual for a northern sea otter to be much lighter colored than would be the case for southern sea otters. Most northern sea otters are colored much as are southern sea otters.
