Owls are beautiful birds of prey which are fascinating to study. There are currently between 10 - 15 different species of owls living right here in BC. Over the course of 6 weeks, we will learn about the many wonderful ways in which God created these silent creatures to adapt to their surroundings. What do owls eat? How do they eat it? During one class we will open up an owl “pellet” and discover the answers to these questions. All artwork and note taking will be placed a lapbook and hopefully, we will have the opportunity to see one “live”. Please bring a snack for break time.
