We’ll explore “wide-eyed owls” with all their neat features, from hooked beaks to silent wings to oh-so-sharp talons, through movement, artifacts, and taxidermy. We’ll also listen to the sounds of Michigan owls and try to mimic them and dissect their pellets!

8801 Macomb St. Grosse Ile, MI 48138 from 1-2:30 PM
Eyes in the dark staring back at us can be…disturbing! Many of these nocturnal critters are innocently lurking in the shadows looking for a meal or a friend--coyotes, owls, bats, and more!

Sunday, December 15th, Cold-Blooded Creatures @ John C. Jackson Resource Center.

This up-close look at Michigan’s reptiles and amphibians will satisfy the most curious herpetologist (one who studies reptiles and amphibians).

You will also learn about reptile and amphibian habitats, populations, diets, and adaptations for survival in this hands-on program.
