00:03We're trying to reveal what makes puffins so extraordinary. Their short, stubby wings.
00:10They must do double duty, lifting them into the air, and then propelling them through the sea.
00:18In the air, puffins have barely enough wing area to stay aloft. That's why they have to flop so fast.
00:24Puffins beat their wings up to 400 times a minute and fly basically.
00:31Puffins straddle two very different worlds.
00:34They're not the strongest fliers above the waves, but unlike swimmers beneath them.
00:44Much of their story happens too fast or too far out of sight to notice.
00:51A high speed video and still photography slow the action.
00:57Beans and elephants hidden from everywhere.
01:01Who loves me like you used to.
01:06Some days I'm not myself. There's no one I can turn to.
01:10This is where the steel camera reveals what I can't do.
01:15When you stop the action, you can see just how hard the puffins bring to work with their heavy body
01:20hair.
01:25And I know the forthis is where any stretch can be used for human evelinger.
01:45There's a puffins wing with an American herring wing.
01:48You can see this is where the air may come from.
01:51It provides a lot of power when used as a flipper under water, but in thin air, that small wing
01:56area is less hard to do with it.
01:58By contrast, the American airboat has longer, wider wings with wider tips.
02:04On that wing area, that's a crazy twisted wing.
02:07But they're far too big to function in the water, so both can only fish in the surface.
02:12They can't dive on the puzzle.
02:14In the water, the puffins swim wide up.
02:18Curious to check out the puffin on my head.
02:21And I was able to capture the moment we'd been after.
02:27Puffins flying underwater.
02:36Wings pumping with wing tips sleek about the sharp peaks.
02:47Their wings become flippers.
02:48Slicing through the water with power and minimal drive.
02:55No longer clumsy fliers, down here, there are hunters.
02:59Fast, graceful, and agile.
03:01Able to turn, bank, and swoop at will.
03:07I love seeing the puffin head into the water and scan for fish.
03:11They dive in pursuit.
03:12So much like a hawk hovering over a rusty field.
03:30I love seeing the puffin head into the water and scan for fish.
03:50Puffins primarily eat small fish.
03:52Pairing their catch with the help of small spines by the roof of their mouths.
04:02With wings that can fly above and below the water, they are perfectly adapted to life on the coast.
04:15Thanks for tuning in to Wild Birds Field.
04:18I haven't found this much too.

04:21If you are OK.
04:23What I Am to For The Method of the Damage
04:23I don't have any questions needed.
04:23You may be on the line.
