Presents
Seabirds of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary

  BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster is proud to present Seabirds 
of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary as 
part of NOAA’s Children’s Sanctuary educational 
outreach program Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at 1pm.

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.

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.

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.

Free with Museum Admission.
