Raptor Nest Party!

Last Wednesday we got to visit a forest at Buck Creek, where we built life sized raptor nests in small groups and learned how hard raptors have to work to make safe, strong nests. The weather was beautiful. We also had a squirrel snack of dried fruit and compared our raptor nests to the nests squirrels build. The very next day, the Rowena wildlife clinic brought a peregrine falcon and a great horned owl to visit our school! We began studying mammals, examining images of the tracks and scat of a red fox and Douglas squirrel.
