Sam’s View
Today we went to the aquarium and we fed puffins, guillemots,
kittiwakes, and murres! While I was feeding them, the guillemot poked me in the
back. After that we did a behind the scenes tour! We saw cool stuff!
Summer’s View
Today Sam and I went to the Alaska SeaLife Center to take a
Behind-The-Scenes Tour and also to enjoy an interactive tour that allowed us to
feed the seabirds in their aviary. We
got there just in time to go to the aviary, and it was really great. The guide
was very nice, and she was informative about the birds and their habitats in
the bay area around Seward.
After a cool tour, we got on our gloves and got a bucket of
fish to feed the birds. It was so much fun! The cutest birds were the horned
Puffins, but it was so interesting to see the different types of birds and what
fish they each preferred. The Puffins were the pickiest, and they only wanted
to eat the “cake” fish in the bucket, something called Houlie.
Some of the birds were nesting, and had chicks in their
burrows to feed, so they were collecting fish to take back to their chicks. One
little horned Puffin named Nemo was the cutest, stacking up the fish and
waddling away to his nest. Sam and I both just loved this!
