Puffins are getting their very own U.S. postage stamp! The Oregonian blog Oregon Live says,
The stamp artwork features a painting of two tufted puffins by artist Robert Giusti of Bridgewater, Conn., under the art direction of Derry Noyes of Washington, D.C. Both birds sport the striking tufts of long, yellow feathers that give the tufted puffin its name, plumage that only appears during breeding season.You can buy them from the Post Office online here.
The picture of the stamp at the top of the post is from the post office web site.

we are especially fond of puffins ever since my youngest discovered the poem "there once was a puffin" when he was little. "Oh, there once was a Puffin Just the shape of a muffin..." we were in love with puffins from that point.
