Tufted Puffins — What to Know\n Tufted puffins are the only puffin sp ecies found on the Oregon Coast\, and Hay stack Rock is one of the best places to see them. They typically nest from April through Aug ust\, using the steep upper ledges of the rock. Where to find them: Look t oward the upper north and northwest faces< /strong> of Haystack Rock. Puffins often perch nea r grassy patches or small crevices where they dig burrows. A long lens (400mm+) helps\, but they can be spotted with binoculars as well. Fun f acts:\n
    \n
  • They develop their b right orange bills and yellow tufts only during br eeding season.
    • \n
  • They can dive over 200 feet to catch fish.
    • \n
  • Their wings beat so fast underwater that they “fl y” beneath the surface.
    • \n
  • They return t o the same nesting colonies year after year.
