Birds of Prey Centre

We packed up early and got on the road to go to Coaldale.  We were going to meet my brother and his family there, but he ended up getting called in to work, so we went by ourselves.  We've never been to the Birds of Prey Nature Centre.  The kids enjoyed getting to see all the different kinds of birds they have there.
 They loved getting to feed the ducks, geese, etc.  Although, they just threw the food.  They didn't want to put their hands anywhere near the birds.
 Lennard had them touch his arm, so they could feel the vibrations from the ducks eating out of his hand.

 We were able to watch a demonstration of one of the birds flying.  Emma was not very sure about it and was quite concerned that the bird would fly at her.
 It took a little convincing for them to try to hold this little burrowing owl, but they both did it!  Such a cute little bird.

We headed home afterwards and got everything unloaded and the trailer emptied and stored in the hangar again.  It's been such a great vacation.
