Stewardship Report: The Pigeon Guillemots are Back!
The pigeon guillemots have returned! Since late last week, we’ve seen 6-10 guillemots bobbing in the surf near the north and south boulders. We’ve also seen them perched on the low cliffs on Haystack Rock’s north side, where they nest. These early arrivers will hopefully be joined by many more of their species in the coming weeks as nesting season nears. And, now that the guillemots have returned, can the puffins be far behind? Follow HRAP’s Facebook page and this nature blog to be among the first to know when they do.
