Some of my favorite parts of homeschooling are the fun, yet educational things we get to experience. A couple of weeks ago, a fellow homeschooling mom organized a field trip to see the raptors at our nearest state park. They have a rehabilitation center there and have some birds that can never be released into the wild. We gathered all the children together (by the way – this is just 3 families!)
And met the conservation officer:
And a screech owl:
And a barn owl:
And a peregrine falcon:
And a red-tailed hawk:
And a great horned owl:
It was an awesome day filled with cool birds, a picnic lunch, and playing with friends!
The birds are amazing. We have a pair of Peregrine Falcons that make their nest every year in the eves of our roof. It really amazing to watch. It’s right above the boy’s bedroom. And when the babies are getting ready to fly away – the boys know cause everyone is getting really noisy. But the boys don’t mind – they love to watch the parents come & go to get food(mice). God is truly Amazing!
Have a blessed day!
And a Blessed Mother’s Day, PJ…:)

Thanks, Happy Mother’s Day to you too. 🙂
