Today we were very fortunate to have two ladies from the Wildlife Care Clinic come to visit us and give us a presentation on their feathered friends!! The children loved seeing the adorable, wild creatures! They learned about an American Kestrel and an Eastern Screech Owl! They were both smaller in size and really did well with the kids looking at them!
The kids got to experiment with funny glasses! If we were owls, our eyes would be the size of softballs! To get the idea, the kids got to wear tennis ball glasses!!
The children got to see and compare the talons of a falcon and an owl! A falcon has 4 toes with 1 in the back for picking up prey, and owls have 4 toes with 2 in the back for perching.
