More Bird Nerding!

 Friday, we went to the Eastman Nature Center (yup, again) for an Owl Birthday Party. This is the time of year that Minnesota owls start hatching so they celebrate with a big party! Fun and a great learning field trip...for mom AND Rowan :)
 Darn squirrel was cute...what can I say?
 Love woodpecker photos...they are hard to get cuz they don't really stop moving much!

 Working on our Party Hats


 Owl impersonation?
 Wings from a Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl and Snowy Owl
 Talons from a Great Horned and a Snowy


 Talons and an owl pellet...gross!
 What a Snowy's foot looks like up close!
 Party Games



 Making a birthday card for the Owl.
 Birthday Cake...your cake has mice on it, doesn't it?
 The Star of the Show...He doesn't have a name, but some people call him Jack because he only has one eye...Apparently born that way, he was found 12 years ago by the Eden Prairie Police as an owlet and brought to the Raptor Center...He now lives at the Eastman Nature Center full time because he can't hunt with just one eye.
