owl presentation -- january 13, 2009

A representative from the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center visited the second grade on Tuesday, January 13, and brought three birds; the great horned owl, a barred owl, and a red-tailed hawk. The Mission of the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center is to connect people with nature while promoting a sense of environmental stewardship through natural science educational programs. The second grade had been studying owls for over one month, and had questions prepared after they had researched the birds and dissected their pellets.
