Owls Stop by Highland Elementary

    
     Second grade students recently studied owls; learning about their habitat, eating habits, and life cycle.  Linda Nebee presented a slide show about many of the animals she's rescued through the Black Hawk Wildlife Rehabilitation Project.  At the end of her presentation she showed off two beautiful owls. 

Five Facts about Owls:

1. Most owls are nocturnal.
2. They are birds of prey.
3. Owls have strong feet like raptors with two toes facing foreward and two toes facing back.

4. Owls' eyes are fixed in their sockets.
5. Owls have a long, hooked bill.
