The Atlantic Puffin is the provincial bird of Newfoundland and Labrador. About 95% of all North America's puffins breed around the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts. The largest puffin colony in the western Atlantic (225,000 pairs) can be found at the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, 32km south of St. John's.
