This morning a flock of children arrived at the aquarium to take part in the Seabird Young Explorer program. We had lots of fun learning about different kinds of seabirds including cormorants, puffins, terns, gannets, and Wilson's storm petrels. Throughout the day we played seabird bingo, spent some time with our seabird specimens, played a cormorant and eagle nesting game, plunged our hands into cold water to learn about puffin insulation, watched
seabird cams while eating our lunch, played gannet and herring outside, made arctic terns, and played the Seabird Survival card game.
Next week's WednesDay program is all about
seals.
Seabird bingo.
We spent some time touching the seabirds and
looking at their eyes, feet and feathers.
This 'cormorant' is doing a good job guarding his egg from the eagles!
Notice the cool colouration of the gull egg.
Making an artic tern...
to learn about their amazing migration.
An intense game of Seabird Survival!
