Mountsberg Summary

We had an awesome day at Mountsberg today and really lucked into some great weather.  Here are some pictures and fun facts that we learned today.....



Snakes can fly
Snakes can be 25 feet
Owls heads rotate 270 degree
Owls have 3 eyelids
Owls puke remains of animals into pellets and can even eat skunks
No snake is poisonous....some are venomous.





We also measured our "wing" span and found out that we are all Turkey Vultures.



The Golden Eagle and Bald Eagle were very majestic birds.  They kept staring at us.








We were able to touch the snakes and owl wings and legs and went on a hike through the birds of prey exhibit.


We also got to meet the two Owls - Alba Alba and Echo from the story Featherwagons and Thingamajigs that we read.
