Research and Interpretation Go Hand in Hand

As the season progresses, there are more and more beautiful days at Yaquina Head. Being that it’s summer time, even early mornings when I go monitor the murres and cormorants don’t seem so early because the sun is already out! I have to confess, after waking up early so many Read more…

1 Murre Chick, 2 Fledglings & Tours Tour Tours

The Seabird Oceanography Lab is continuing to monitor our one murre chick this season. On the days that I monitored, I did not spot the chick, but luckily one of my lab mates did on Friday! Hooray! There have been no new eggs or chicks added, but we are going Read more…

Cormorant Nests, Gale Winds & Cake

Murreder, She Wrote

This week, I began helping with common murre surveys. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best, so I often went home pretty wet and cold. Luckily, we use Rite in the Rain materials so we are very prepared to take note of disturbances and any eggs we see, even in the Read more…

This past week, I had the amazing opportunity to participate in Western Gull captures. This was my first time handling wild animals and let me tell you, it was quite the adventure! We  had a small crew of four consisting of my supervisor Stephanie, my boss Dr. Suryan, volunteer Roberta Read more…
