We went to zoo school in the sleety snow:
We met the world's smallest owl, Peanut:
And a really big owl too...I took video of him flying across the classroom, but it is just a blur.
Then the girls got to dissect an owl pellet. If you don't know, this is the gross wad an owl pukes up after he eats a bird or squirrel or mouse.
Of course, it brought a great deal of joy to PK1.
They give you a paper with pictures of the "things" (beak, talon, bones) you might find. Then you carefully dissect aforementioned "wad."
Oooooo a talon!
Best buddies:
Everyone is very proud of me that I let the kids touch owl pellets and that I let the owl fly around over my head without being on a leash or anything. I also, am pretty proud of myself.
