On October 29th the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre came to Lakewood School to talk to us. The presenter brought a Great Horned Owl and a Swainson's Hawk, and she told us about them. We learned many interesting facts about owls and hawks. One thing we learned is that owls have great hearing and that their eyes do not move. The Swainson's Hawk lives in Manitoba but it flies to Brazil for the winter. Also, we learned that the Wildlife Haven helps people who find injured, sick, or orphaned wild animals. At the end of the presentation, we touched the feet of a Great Grey Owl and a Great Horned Owl. They had fur on their feet and they had sharp talons. We enjoyed the presentation, especially seeing the owl, Max and the hawk, Avro.
