For 1 past three summers, Jenny Howard has worked on Seal Island, Maine. Howard, holding a bachelor’s degree in arts and biology from Kenyon College in Ohio, is in charge of Project Puffin (角嘴海雀), a seabird restoration project. She and a small crew (工作人员) of volunteers professionally monitor and protect the seabirds during the summer breeding (繁殖) season. The crew is made up 2 six volunteers including Howard.
The puffin often 3 (refer) to as a “sea parrot” has a colorful beak (喙). They are endangered birds. So protecting them is 4 (especial) important. Hunted more than 150 years ago for food and feathers, the puffins disappeared from Seal Island. Not 5 40 years ago did Dr. Steve Kress, founder of Project Puffin, reintroduce the puffin to the island.
From mid-May to mid-August, the crew lives in tents 6 are on top of 8-foot-wide wooden platforms, overlooking a rocky beach.
The crew brings only what they can carry on their backs when they travel to the island: clothes, books, and food. Food as well as fresh water 7 (carry) to the island every 10 days by a local. It is fairly 8 (inconvenience) to live there and the work is somewhat demanding. Once they found a puffin lying on the ground which had suffered a serious 9 (injure), they picked it up and treated it at once.
The only real structure on the island is the Seal Island cabin, 10 (offer) more protection than the tents. Not only is it where most of the research and data entry are done but also it is a safe place for the crew to cook and stay warm. For Howard, the best part of a day spent on the island is getting to play with the birds.
