Puffins! There is something about these creatures that causes the exclamation point to be almost mandatory. Once common in Glacier Bay when the landscape was newly exposed, we don't see them too often any more. They always cause a stir when spotted whizzing by in flight, a blur of black and orange. Up close the clownish beak is a wonder... just imagine if your lips started on your forehead and ended below your chin... OK, that's not anatomically correct, but you get the idea!
