Discovery Club

September 14, 2010

Red Bridge Discovery Club started its fall season with a great program presented by Bill from Operation Wildlife. Twenty-two children, ages 7 to 16, were able to determine an owl’s diet by dissecting owl pellets. After and intensive investigation, there were discoveries of tiny skulls, jawbones, vertebra, ribs, and leg bones. The finale of the program was meeting Bambam, a five-year-old barn owl who had been rescued as an owlet after his home was destroyed. Barney and Betty, two foster parent owls at Operation Wildlife, had raised him.
 
The next Discovery Club will be Oct. 14th at 1:00 PM. Skeleton Puzzle will continue the bone investigations. During the program, the children will be playing games that will assist with identifying the names of the bones and their location in a human skeleton.
