Chooj's First Library Card and Birds of Prey

Now that I am living in Cincinnati I needed to get a new library card.  I'm really excited about the amount and size of the libraries in the Cincinnati area.  Hayes has had library cards but this was Chooj's first.  We attended a Birds of Prey presentation at the Mariemont Branch and got there early to get our cards and books.  All of us had a great time and even Hayes, who seems to know everything, learned a few new things about hawks, eagles and owls.  Did you know that the bald eagle has such a wimpy cry that the old western movies dubbed in the red-tailed hawk cry?
Chooj is very excited!

And Hayes is very proud of her little brother.

Can't even wait until they check the books out.

A very grumpy screech owl!

Chooj is enjoying the show!

Hayes is in awe!

A very old, blind barred owl

And finally, a very magestic great horned owl
