Week 5: Barn Owl Observation

Click the link below to spy on a real, live barn owl family! Right now there are two owlets living in the owl nest box. Ashley hatched on August 7 and Carrie hatched on August 8, so they are almost two months old! Depending on the time of day, you may also see the mother and father owls. You can tell who the dad is because he has a white chest and face.  

For this week's response, go to this Live Owl Nest Cam and tell me what the owls are doing!

Extra Credit: In addition to your observation above, send me one important fact about barn owls.

Your comment will not be seen by others until I approve it. Please respond before Friday, October 8th!

Walter and Wen go to school!

Today we visited an amazing classroom full of first and second graders! They showed us all of the fun things they are learning in school. They also asked a lot of questions! Here are a few pictures from our day. This may be our last outing before our big trip around Washington. We leave on 10/10/10!

 We love visiting kids and learning new things everywhere we go!

 

Wen really liked this chameleon watercolor! 

She thought the hearts were lovely.

 Walter thought this chameleon was brilliant!

Thanks Ms. Guiley and students! Maybe we will stop by again after our Wild Washington Wanderings!
