As you read from the last blog, I am having a revolving museum in my room this year. After the reptile and amphibian display, I decided to have birds. This big guy came just before Thanksgiving so it was perfect timing. He was a huge turkey. He rode from Provo in the back seat behind Duane. He could barely fit him into the seat. I asked Duane if he got a lot of strange looks from people going by. They probably wondered why this man had a huge turkey riding in the car behind the driver. Well it was almost Thanksgiving, don't you know. Again, he was much bigger than he looks in the picture. Compare him to the size of the binders on the shelf behind him.
This cute little penguin was a favorite of a few of the students. He was very endearing. We also enjoyed the pheasant.
One of the favorites was our snowy white owl. It was to fun to study the different types of birds with their different types of beaks and feet.
Notice the coot's feet. By studying their feet and beaks you can determine what kind of environment they live in and what type of food they eat.
