Our local nature center had an owl prowl last weekend. we bundled up and went into the woods to see if we could find an owl, no luck but thats ok because the zoo brought owls for us to look at :)We got to see a screech owl, a bard owl and a great horned owl, pictured.
Serena impressed the presenter with her question, "do owls have sticky feet?"
I didnt know what she was talking about
but the presenter did, " lots of raptors have tiny little nubs on the bottom of there talons that helps them to grip prey she explained, but owls do not have this feature probably because their prey is rarely wet, or wiggly after the initial grab."
We had a good time.
