The children participated in a demonstration that simulated an oil spill in the water. Coco powder was mixed with cooking oil and then slowly poured in to cold water. The children then put their hands in the brown slick and the substance would stick to their hands. This activity simulated animals getting caught in the oil spill and how the oil caused them to sink and ultimately drown.

Kittlitz's Murrelet, Glacier Bay, Alaska. 19 July 2016.
Yumi Arimitsu identified the prey as a lantern fish (aka the uber fatty Myctophid!); and notes that this mesopelagic fish is typically much deeper in the water column (200-600 m) during the day but near the glaciers it occurs near the surface because there's no light in the turbid waters. The vast majority of Myctophids in Glacier Bay are Northern Lampfish.
Kittlitz's Murrelet is one of the World's rarest seabirds -- with the total population numbering just 30-50,000. It is also a species at risk, as glaciers rapidly melt and their critical habitat is lost.
Glacier Bay, Alaska is the best place in the world to view numbers of Kittliz's Murrelets, and late July generally sees the highest numbers.
