Open House

Today was Audubon Center of the North Woods annual open house. It is a day where the public can visit and do activities like high ropes, climbing wall and paddle a voyagers canoe. About 350 people showed up to partake in the events.

I spent the day at the barn talking to people about the animals. As a special treat, this year people could buy tickets to feed our crow Mob. This was good enrichment for him and he got his favorite treats - raisins and mealworms. It was also good enrichment for me. I got many laughs when Mob started playing with the kids shoe laces and calling at them.

While working the open house, I took the chance to take a few pictures of Stanley and the birds. Flat Stanley came from a group of 3rd graders in Connecticut. After reading the book about Stanley, they sent out paper Stanley on an adventure. While here, Stanley wants to learn about birds. Pretty cute, right?
