Hoot 'n' Howl Owl Prowl at Toronto Botanical Gardens
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Last Saturday, our family attended the first session in the City Critters series at Toronto Botanical Garden called "Hoot 'n Howl Owl Prowl". We learned all about this impressive bird, dissected an owl pellet (ick!) and went on a nighttime hike through the forest on the prowl for owls. It was lots of fun and the kids had a blast!

ReplyDeleteI wasn't quite sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised.

ReplyDeleteI used the Diptic app on my iPhone. They've updated it and added some really neat features.

It was. Among other things, I learned that owls have two stomachs. Who knew?

DeleteThat's the way to see an owl in a January in Toronto--stuffed and indoors.

It was great to actually pet a live one, too!
DeleteHolding owls?? Awesome! I'll have to check out this series to see what else they are offering
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely awesome!
DeleteHow cool is that! I am so jealous. I was so excited to see one in the wild not that long ago, I'd love to be able to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW and thanks for the comment on my blog. To answer the question They did their own spin on the Facebook photo asking for 1 million likes so their parents will buy them a puppy. My kids made a poster asking for 1 million likes for awareness for organ donation and congenital heart defects. The local news station saw it and wanted to do a story on them.
