Yesterday was yet another successful program with Kuna Middle School! We were reminded by the teachers how much the kids loved the scat and tracks presentation a few weeks back, which is always nice to hear!
We were joined by this adorably little great horned owl, Archimedes, who is a non-releasable resident of the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds Of Prey National Conservation Area (an area of BLM land) and his handler, Cori. They filled the first half of the program with fun Owl facts and such and then I brought in owl pellets for the kids to dissect and identify the bones that they found inside! They all seemed to enjoy it and a bunch of them wanted to keep some of the bones, so it was a good thing I anticipated that and brought some baggies for them to store their bones in!
Only one more visit to Kuna Middle School before they come out and visit us in May!
How Neat Is That?!
