04/16 Marbled Murrelet

The Marbled Murrelet is a bird that is found near the coast of the Pacific Ocean and actually spends the majority of its life out at sea. 

For our class we read a book about the mystery behind the Marbled Murrelet.  They were considered a mystery for a long time because nobody could figure out where the birds lived.  It has been discovered that most of their life is spent at sea.  When tending for an egg or chick they will travel up to 50 miles inland and make their "home" (they do not make nests) on large moss covered branches in old growth forests.
