Hummingbird Festival





Third graders enjoyed many wild-life adventures at the Hummingbird Festival. David, Eric, and Billy all got to hold and release hummingbirds!
Everyone enjoyed the “Bat Man” who had real bats of all sizes, especially a large fruit bat that looked like a dog with wings. Many students were impressed with the Snakes of the Mid-south presentation. Most of us had never seen a live rattlesnake before. Students also got to see hawks, owls, and opossums at the Wildlife Conservation exhibit.
