July 2024 – Ranger Ramblings

On the last day of camp, the campers had the honor of moving five baby owls and one adult owl to the flight cage…

NWDC Raptor Center Director Diana Miller drew a beautiful red-tailed hawk out from a portable carrier and held it up for all to see.

Often wheel-like or cylindrical “snowballs” are formed naturally as chunks of snow roll down hill picking up further snow along the way.

It sometimes takes awhile for students to realize the human impacts on the river, such as personal use and growing crops.

We participated in a silent hike, an egg dissection, and an egg experiment (pictured above), which was my favorite activity of the day.

We observed many trees that had been chewed and knocked over, and with the recent snow even some beaver track!
