2019 Lesson Three: Owls!

OWLS!

We had such a great time learning about owls.
Here are some owl facts we learned!
There are over 200 species of owls!
They can live for 20 years.
They have special feathers to help them fly silently and catch their prey.
They swallow their prey whole or in large chunks.
They regurgitate the bones and fur from the rodents they eat as owl pellets.
Scientists dissect and study owl pellets to find out more about an owl's diet.

Experiment Time!

We dissected owl pellets!
It was amazing to find the bones and match them up on bone chart.
Finding a rodent skull was always exciting!
