July 16: Kids' Pop Up: Birds of Prey

Did you know that owls swallow their prey whole?   Then they regurgitate things that they can’t digest – like feathers, teeth, and bones!   On Sat July 16, we looked for evidence of owls and other birds of prey along the Boxer Trail. 

Afterwards, Leslie Gale from Bartram’s Garden gave each participant their very own (sanitized) owl focus the discussion, Leslie provided diagrams of small animal skeletons, so kids could try to match the bones with their location in the skeleton.  Kids really liked doing this, especially this one particularly big kid!  (We  think he was a dad!)  

Afterwards, some kids picked garden bouquets to take home.
