Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 625.1 Hz, 8 cents sharp of E♭5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A puffin, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Puffins are small seabirds of the North Atlantic that nest in burrows on cliff tops. In summer their beaks glow orange, and they flap up to four hundred times a minute to fly and use their wings to swim underwater.
Tap it and the puffin hops round to look at you, then hops back. Drag to circle it and look at the striped beak, the white face and the orange feet.
