Puffi ns were “out and about,” digging deep nests into the rock called “burrows,” which might look like a hole or tiny cave at fi rst, Keyser said. Rocky Shore interpreter Fran- ces Holtman said she counted 12 to 14 puffi ns in just a few minutes. Small, black birds While murres have a white belly, puffi ns are small, black, football-shaped birds with a bright orange beak. They eat small fi sh like smelt and her- ring, Keyser said. Students took turns spot- ting the puffi ns by the rock through scopes and binocu- lars, with assistance from vol- unteers Barb Knop and Jan Siebert-Wahrmund. At another station, volun- teers engaged kindergartners in the “puffi n parent relay” game. The “puffi ns” (students) ran gleefully across the sand to get “fi sh” (sticks) without getting caught by an “eagle,” played by energetic Rocky Shore i nterpreters donning wings or a puppet. Children gathered around mini-aquarium tanks at the “aquarium investigation sta- tion,” led by education coordi- nator Lisa Habecker. Students were able to see and learn about hermit crabs, mussels, Meet with Herzig Saturday day in the Flag Room at the Astoria Public Library.

PUBLIC MEETINGS Ontario 40/66 Bend 33/55 Medford 43/60 CANNON BEACH — Excitement abounded as about 130 kindergartners from Gear- hart Elementary School and Seaside Heights Elementary School welcomed the tufted puffi ns back to Haystack Rock, where the colorful birds will nest until August. The Haystack Rock Aware- ness Program led kindergarten classes organized into groups like “Black Oystercatchers” and “Hermit Crabs” through lively activity stations that involved learning about bird ecology and intertidal species. Each class visited a different station for 15 to 20 minutes before rotating. The event this month kicked off the “12 Days of Earth Day” festivities and had many more students and activities than last year’s p uffi n w elcome. “This year, we really wanted to make a big effort to invite all of our local kin- dergartners,” program coor- dinator Melissa Keyser said. “They’re so excited.” The public is invited to meet with Astoria City Councilor Drew Herzig from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Satur- The Dalles 46/65 Astoria 43/60 By LYRA FONTAINE The Daily Astorian The Daily Astorian Oregon Weather Shown is tomorrow’s weather.

For a snack break, students made their own “tufted puffi n muffi ns.” Protective parents Each puffi n burrows 2 to 6 feet deep into the rock and lays just one egg, Holtman said. Displaying different bird eggs at the “bird observation station,” Holtman had the kin- dergartners guess the one that came from a puffi n. While the other two eggs were speckled and colored blue or pink, the puffi n egg was white. “There’s always a parent that’s standing guard at the entrance to the burrow, which is why it’s able to be bright white like that,” Holtman said. “With the combination of being deep in the rock and the parent guarding the nest, the egg is highly protected. That’s why it doesn’t need a lot of camoufl age.” In contrast, the black oys- tercatcher egg has dark speck- les for camoufl age because it is laid exposed on rocks or cliff. Puffi n parents attempt- ing to return to their burrows might get into little tiffs with predators, which include gulls, murres and eagles. The tufted puffi ns usually mate on the open ocean before coming to the rock.
