puffin
This term refers specifically to a type of alcid seabird. In a biological context, it is most frequently associated with the Atlantic puffin, though the term encompasses several species across the Northern Hemisphere. The word evokes images of rugged coastal landscapes, particularly in Iceland, Norway, and Canada.
Because it is a biological species name, it follows standard English countability rules for animals. It is used as a countable noun to refer to individual birds or the species as a whole.
