Fun Times!

One of my favourite times of year is Christmas. I love Christmas for lots of reasons. First of all we have holidays so I have time to relax and sit in front of the fireplace on cold evenings maybe read a little and sip hot chocolate. Secondly, we always get together with our family and friends and talk, and eat, and talk, and eat some more. Everyone is happy and the children are excited. The seasonal music adds to the whole holiday feeling.
What about you---what time of year or what celebration is one of your favourites. What is it that you like most about it?

O.W.L. Presentation

Wow! What an excellent presentation! It was great to see that many of you were able to attend the presentation by the O. W. L. (Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation) society, and had the opporunity to learn about the fabulous work that they do. I know you all enjoyed seeing a live owl and a Mexican hawk. Ted Williams, the presenter, shared a wealth of very interesting information. Additional photos taken at the presentation can be viewed at http://www.gvdes.ca/~jmattu/fieldtrips/owl/owl.htm

Let's start this year's blog by sharing one thing that you learned from attending the presentation. Those of you who were not able to attend can also add to this by looking up information about Canadian hawks and owls and give one interesting fact you learned through your research.

This is a 'live' blog in that you are able to add your comments here directly. So, decide on an interesting fact about hawks or owls that you'd like to share. Then add your fact by clicking on 'comment'. Only give your first name when you leave a comment. I look forward to reading your interesting facts.
