The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

-1Peconic Jeff put me on to The Mighty Sven, a puffin in Happy Feet Two (penguin movie…been there done that.  Would do it again, too…penguins and movies go together!)  Sven is said to be "a tufted puffin passing himself off as a penguin who can fly."

Passing himself off as a penguin?   I think they've got that backward.   Puffins don't want to be penguins (why would they…penguins don't fly, and who has the better beak?  The soulful eye?)

The Mighty Sven…if you're ever out east come sail with the crew.   Thanks Jeff for spotting a brother Puffin!

    I’m always on the lookout for Puffins in unusual places; this one was spotted in the depths of the 96th St subway station.
    There’s also another puffin that hangs out on 60th St. If you find yourself walking past the Plaza Towers, take a look inside the water fountain.

    I know he isn’t a puffin, but since your post referenced Happy Feet Two, I found a music video about “Happy Feet”. This was the name given to the emporer penguin that washed up in NZ over the summer. He is now swimming back home. Here’s a link to the video:
