Birds of Prey

ODS Curriculum - Short Stations - Birds of Prey page finished. Information from long stations Owls and Birds included.

These top predators (informally called "raptors") hunt vertebrates (including other birds) primarily in flight, using their strong talons and sharp beaks. Additionally, owls have some pretty remarkable adaptations that help them hunt at night. This station focuses primarily on owls and their adaptations.

This station includes Oscar, the mummified Barn Owl (he's a little scary at first, so warn your students before suddenly pulling him out of the tub). Oscar is useful for showing talons, beak, bird knees, and the formation of feathers around the face. Other owl props include the giant eyeballs, eye-splint cups, fringed and non-fringed rulers, and owl wings. Four posters containing owl facts also accompany these tools.
