The Murre Maniac is a monthly newsletter
from April - July put out by the Common Murre Restoration Project. It is aimed at the school
children who participate in the project's environmental education program
Webs Under Waves: Exploring Coastal Marine Life. The newsletter contains information
on the murre colony at Devil's Slide Rock and how they are faring during the
breeding season. Major events such as first egg lay dates, numbers of eggs
and chicks on the rock, and last chick fledge dates are discussed as well
as general seabird breeding behaviour. We also include numbers from our bi-weekly
colony counts which teachers can then pass on to the children to keep track
of how the bird population changes on the rock during each month.
