Some of the Summer Finds!
Hello all! Can you believe it? Summer is just about over. School children have all returned to the classroom. College lectures began this week. Things are beginning to slow down at Haystack Rock, although our program still has a little over a month left on the beach. Our official last day on the beach is October 24th. We are sad that summer is coming to an end because that not only means that the crowds will be less, but also the sea bird population is way less. Below are pictures of some of my favorite finds of the summer: A Common Murre Chick a.k.a. A Jumpling A healthy family of Ochre Sea Stars A Tufted Puffin A Leather Sea Star Another Ochre Sea Star A Sea Nettle A Juvenile Western Gull and A Mermaids Purse!
