Screech

Last week, we went to the library to see a lady who had written a book about an owl. The Wildlife Center also brought along a real owl. He is a Screech Owl, tiny and adorable!! Come with us!





A wise old owl
sat on an oak.
The more he saw,
The less he spoke.
The less he spoke
The more he heard
Why can’t we be
Like that wise old bird?
