I have a video but chose not to post.  Another Puffin went into their burrow and physically attacked Bucky, he screamed and then the camera went to highlights.  Not sure what happened after that.  He seems ok, but both parents are on high alert.

Per explore.org
Samantha Eye  spamela5510 ? an hour ago ?
S/he has a lot of cushioning. The chicks tuck their heads and turn their bum to the danger, protecting the most vital part. Puffling may be a bit bruised, but is most likely A-okay.

All are on high alert... the Puffin attacked more than one Puffling this afternoon

Bucky after attack... seems ok, Mom brought him fish...


Below pic is a couple minutes ago... lil Bucky is tuckered out.  Prayers lil guy!

Bucky❤️


Via explore comments...
He seems ok. It really looked like the intruder only grabbed fluff, not flesh.
If you click on the chat from July 10 in the featured comment, that's what Dr Kress thinks: when parents leave the chick alone, prospectors who want the burrow will attack the chick.

And I thought the Puffins were a nice break from the usual drama in Decorah!  ;D

Puffins are going to be on the season finale of Animal Planet's series, "The Aquarium".  :) :) :)

The clip shows them in their "Winter" plumage!

The Puffin Burrow on Seal Island, Maine are "Atlantic Puffins". The most endangered.
