His essay on the desultory efforts made to protect the murrelet and its nesting grounds in oldgrowth forests is particularly acute. |
Year-round bird species include murres, auklets, kittiwakes, puffins, guillemots, Kittlitz's murrelet, and gulls. |
Kittlitz's murrelet is a small, rare seabird of the Northern Pacific with a declining population. |
The combination of owl, murrelet, and riparian protection will eventually provide at least 520,000 acres of mature forest habitat. |
The murrelet population was threatened by the rats who would eat the murrelet eggs. |
If the murrelet is rebounding, it's because the park service wiped out native predators. |
