Owl Prowl, City Critters at Toronto Botanical Gardens


Last Saturday, our family attended the first session in the City Critters series at Toronto Botanical Garden called "Hoot 'n Howl Owl Prowl". We learned all about this impressive bird, dissected an owl pellet (ick!) and went on a nighttime hike through the forest on the prowl for owls. It was lots of fun and the kids had a blast!

  12. How cool is that! I am so jealous. I was so excited to see one in the wild not that long ago, I'd love to be able to do something like this.

    Happy WW and thanks for the comment on my blog. To answer the question They did their own spin on the Facebook photo asking for 1 million likes so their parents will buy them a puppy. My kids made a poster asking for 1 million likes for awareness for organ donation and congenital heart defects. The local news station saw it and wanted to do a story on them.
