OWL

We had our presentation from O.W.L. today. The presenter, Zac, brought in an American Kestrel named Johnny and a Southern Boobook owl named Cricket. The Southern Boobook Owl is native to Australia and was brought in from Smithers where is was someones pet who no longer wanted it. It was so neat to see an owl up close and the students were captivated! They learned so many facts about owls. We even dissected owl pellets and say mouse skeletons. Ask your child to share with you what they learned.
