Flutterby Bits

Fly Like an Eagle

Two Eagles nests filled with eaglets were in the Community Room – will wonders never cease to happen!

On Monday, March 10th, we had the pleasure of hosting 13 eaglets in two handmade nests, eagle style of course.    The ISU Extension office, with Ashley Sherrets, presented one of the ongoing monthly children’s programs as part of Adventures in Nature. This one was “Fly like an Eagle”.

   
We had loads of fun and learned a bit, too.  As a group we learned many facts about eagles, traced our wingspan, made eagle puppets, built nests, ate fish (Swedish Fish – candy) and watched the Decorah eagles on the big screen.

The Bulletin Board in the Children’s area of the library displays the results of the wingspan comparison.  It is pretty interesting to see how we measure up!















April 13th  at 6 pm the Adventures in Nature program will be “Earth Day”.  Thanks to the  ISU Extension for  helping to bring these opportunities to you.   This series of programs are most suitable for children in grades K-3, but all children and guardians are welcome to attend. 

I do hope you will have the opportunity to join us for future programs.  It is a grand way to start the
week.   Mark your calendar for April 13th at 6:00 pm to have fun and learn, too.

Hope to see you soon
