Stick It To The Man!
I seem to recall this phrase being a popular saying when I was quite young. It may have been coined as early as the 1850's, but I sure wasn't around then!
Here is another example of an Atlantic puffin picking something up for unknown reasons. Pretty sure it is not for nesting material.
Notice that the foot closest to the camera has the webbing torn between it at least two places. Since they use their feet as rudders when swimming under water, I would think this bird would be challenged to change direction as fast as 'normal' puffins.
