a series of educational activi-

Adelia Lippold, 6, uses a Haystack Rock Awareness Pro-
gram’s bird scope to spy on the recently returned tufted
puffin population. Enjoying the view beside Lippold is her
Fire Mountain classmate Taylor Kahrs, 6, and, to his right,
Melissa Keyser, the HRAP education coordinator.
The first of the tufted puffins began arriving on Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach in April.
