The Marion Natural History Museum’s afterschool group had fun learning about nests and eggs of some of our local birds. Colorization of the eggs can signify different things in different species and the speckles on eggs are not always random. The kids had a chance to color their own eggs based on what we learned. We also took a close look and several different nest types and then tried to weave our own nests using grass, twigs, ivy, feathers and lichen. Our upcoming after-school programs can be viewed on the museum’s website: www.marionmuseum.org.
FYI some of the programs were filled immediately and luckily we were able to offer a second date for Rockets, as well as the Bird Island and Ram Island boat trips. Please go to the website to register. These programs tend to fill up fast.
