Nature Day

Purdue Extension, Clay County had a nature day today.  Lance had to work, so I decided to take the girls up to Brazil to the fairgrounds to enjoy the day of free activities.  The highlight that we were present for was the "Raptor Show".  This is Mark, I used to work with him and his wife when I worked at the Indianapolis Zoo, ten years ago.  Anyway, he had five birds of prey with him and put on a 50 minute presentation. 

Red Tailed Hawk named Jack
 This is a barred owl
 This was a falcon that he actually had flying up into a tree.

They also had Larry Caplan, the Plant Magician, a river stomp, and boothes with all kinds of information.  We had a really good time and I treated the girls to McDonalds for lunch.
