2nd Graders Gain Insight Into The Lives & Habitats Of Birds of Prey
The second grade had an exciting field trip to the Birds of Prey Center in Awendaw last Friday. The children got to learn from experts about the natural history of the raptors. They observed a flight demonstration and were educated on the flight patterns, hunting techniques, and migratory patterns of the red tail hawk, black vulture, wood owl, burrowing owl, and yellow-billed kite. Everyone got to practice patience as they waited for the wood owl to decide he was ready to leave his perch in a nearby tree! The second graders learned the value of these birds in our ecosystem and things that they can do to protect them. It was a wonderful day and everyone was in awe of these majestic creatures that God created!
