Seabird Week

This week is Seabird Week here at the Huntsman!  We have many interesting bird specimens on display as well as some bird-themed games in our children's corner. You should also come check out our new mural that has been completed near the children's fishing boat as well as the mural in progress by the lighthouse.
At our day camp this week, students learnt about the Double-crested Cormorant, the Arctic Tern's migration pattern, and what keeps a Puffin from freezing.  Students also enjoyed some seabird themed games and craft time as well.

Its Seabird Week!!

Puffin and Eider Duck Tic Tac Toe.

The Arctic Tern has a very long migration.

These students are learning a bit more about the Common Eider Duck.

During the Seabird Scavenger hunt, students completed field guides to take home and help them identify different seabirds they may come across.

Time out for a little playtime on our fishing boat. Check out the new mural in the background!

The Bald Eagle; just one of the many beautiful specimens on display.

The next mural is taking form next to the lighthouse, in our children's area. Be sure to come check out the progress.
