Holding a Bird of Prey

On October 24, 2009, I held a red winged falcon at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

This is what it looked like, and I think it was cool.

It got a little bit too heavy for me, and I had to wear a special glove because of its talons. It had lost some of its toes because of some poisonous snake bites from a water moccasin. It ate the snake in the end.

A Walk in the Woods

On Saturday, October 24, 2009, my friend, brother, mom, and I went to the Science Museum. We decided to walk on the trails to get some fresh air.

On the way back to the museum, I spotted some pretty, little flowers on the side of the trail.

We also saw a show about birds of prey. This is a photo of a red-winged falcon.

Our Trip to the Science Museum

The first thing we did when we got to the Science Museum was to explore a garden. There were dead vines on the columns and roof. I loved the flowers. My brother loved the cactus. We ran through the garden to see everything that was there.

Inside the museum, I looked at the fish in the tanks. There were so many of the same fish! Some fish were hanging out on the floor and near the corner.

On the deck near the lake, I found a writing journal. Many people had written in it. It was fun to read what other people had written. I wrote about how it had rained a lot and the lake had flooded. I also recorded the temperature.

The photos above were taken by my mom.
