This is not my photo. Downloaded from a newsgroup. Just enjoy.
I don't know where this is from, since the original poster didn't show any copyright info either.
Horned Puffin (Fratercula corniculata) is an auk, similar in appearance to the Atlantic Puffin; this bird's bill is yellow at the base and red at the tip. It is a pelagic seabird that feeds primarily by diving for fish. It nests in colonies, often with other auks.
