 I asked Klug why they chose to showcase a puffin. Why not a puffin? Oh my goodness. The tufted puffin is an iconic seabird. They are native to Oregon's coast and we have our own flock here at OCAQ. Our puffins are one of the most memorable species at the aquarium. The aquarium must sell 3,000 vouchers to get the plate into production. More than 400 sold in the first 24 hours.
