Presents <br>
Seabirds of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary<br><br>
</div>
<i> </i></b>BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in
Brewster is proud to present <i>Seabirds of Stellwagen Bank National
Marine Sanctuary</i> as part of NOAA’s Children’s Sanctuary educational
outreach program<i> </i><b>Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at 1pm.<br><br>
</b>Did you know that Cape Cod and our national marine sanctuary are
famous for seabirds?! These athletic animals spend much of their lives in
the ocean and have developed some extreme survival strategies – some fly
tens of thousands of miles a year, plunge dive at 60 miles an hour, or
spin in circles to whirlpool food to the water’s surface. Birders
love to watch them and researchers love to study them because they give
us clues to the health of the ocean. <br><br>
Come to the Museum and eat like a seabird, build a bird with your own
extreme adaptations, discover what your wing span is, and follow a
satellite-tagged Shearwater on an 18,000 mile trip. You will leave
with a new appreciation for these important animals and be ready to
identify some that we can see on Cape Cod every day.<br><br>
Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary is famous for its whales and
fish and also its seabirds. Stellwagen Bank has developed
educational and outreach programs to promote awareness, understanding and
protection of these important animals.<br><br>
<b>Free with Museum Admission.<br>
