The Horned Puffin breeds on rocky islands off the coasts of Siberia, Alaska, and British Columbia. They winter far out to sea. Not a lot is known about these birds.

They nest in rock crevices and on cliffs. They eat fish, squid and crustaceans. When returning to feed their chicks, they will bring back a beak full of fish.
