Children Observing Wildlife at the Zoo

Two bald eagles within three days makes for some happy kids who love all things big bird related! We especially love us some vultures after listening to several vulture education talks about how important they are during the last year. C dragged us over to the vulture talk at the zoo and said it was a really fun day. Fact of the day: Vultures hold an important role in the carrion eating world because they can actually get rid of the bacteria and viruses in carcasses that other animals cannot. Aka super duper strong stomach acid. And their numbers are greatly on the decline... thus the need for education.
