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,

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.”

barnacles and sea slugs .
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.
