 The tufted puffin could be featured on Oregon's next license plates. Courtney Klug with the Oregon Coast Aquarium says they chose the seabird for a new benefit plate because they're so popular with visitors. They often say, I got so close to a puffin, it splashed me. And we just love how whimsical and fun they are. And they're surprisingly graceful. So it's wonderful to give people a peek into what these birds look like in their natural element.
