Miami Beach lifeguard rescues injured Atlantic puffin – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports

MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – There was a rare rescue on Miami Beach involving a bird that is not typically associated with warm and sunny South Florida.

A lifeguard on Thursday spotted an injured Atlantic puffin on the beach near Sixth Street.

The bird is a long way from home, as they usually live in colder climates in the Northern Atlantic Ocean.

This feathered visitor was taken to Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami for care.
