Raptors Are So Cool!

As part of our library Children's department's Summer Reading Program, READ ON THE WILD SIDE, they had a live Raptor program tonight. My two oldest sons enjoyed it immensely, though the younger of the two had to bail out half way through (attention span couldn't hang in for the full hour + of the program) and joined his mom and baby brother out in the library to read while our oldest stayed for the whole show. We saw a live Red Tail Hawk, Peregrine Falcon, Turkey Vulture, and Barn Owl...including the Owl swallowing a dead mouse whole. Wow. Great program and it was so awesome to get to see my favorite animals, Raptors, up close and personal like that AND especially to see my sons enjoy it too (though they are both more looking forward to the snake show next month).
