Default Puffin photo plea

I'm looking for some good, detailed, close-up photos of puffins. I plan to do one in a workshop in January and thought I'd better start looking now. I have lots of songbird and birds of prey photos, but not one of the puffin.
Thanks!

Wow, Al, that's a lot of puffins. Thanks a bunch. I'll try to print off 3-4 of them to guide me.
Thanks,

Hi Donna,

I did a couple puffin "decoys" a year or three ago, and got all my reference shots off of Google images. Go for it!

Donna: I'll bet you are going to be in Park City, KS in January! Looks like an interesting project. I saw the model that will be used in the class. Good Luck!

Yep, sure hope to, but want to have some good reference shots. I've got a new color printer ordered so will wait til then to print off some of these photos.

Thanks to all, and especially Hugh, who pm'd me with patterns, photos, and helpful hints. I'm very much looking forward to trying this little bird.
