Marion Natural History Museum127 viewsWednesday afternoon, the Marion Natural History Museum's afterschool group had a chance to learn about the diet of barn owls. Given they are birds of prey, there's mainly rodents and small birds on their menu. The owl must regurgitate the indigestible bones, fur, feathers, etc. by forming a pellet before eating another meal.

Boston Post Cane126 viewsRoy Wilson "Will" Wingate is Marion's eldest resident, and he was honored last week with the Boston Post Cane in celebration of his 101st birthday.
A Boston Post Cane is a gold-headed ebony cane periodically offered to the eldest citizen of a New England town. The now-defunct Boston Post newspaper began the tradition in 1909. The canes belong to the town, but they are passed from one eldest resident to the next.
Wingate's daughter was in attendance along with his 100-year-old wife Ann.

Marion Natural History Museum122 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum’s afterschool group had fun learning about insects on Wednesday. These little critters are ectothermic, and their body temperature is determined by their surrounding environment. Some are quite speedy and the Tiger beetle can run so fast they can’t see anything. We had a chance to go out and do some netting for bugs as well as looking under rocks, checking in bark and the bushes, and found an interesting variety. The museum wishes to thank entomologist Blake Dinius for prov
