Everyone likes to end their school year with a bang. We are no different. To wrap up our year of studying flying creatures a group of us went to the Wildlife Park in Gray Maine to hear a class on the life of the loon. Other than the weird intro in which the speaker made some outrageous assumption about loons at the beginning of time (do people learn anything in college these days???), the class was good. Mostly for its opportunity to review material that the boys had already covered, but also for a chance to ask questions. Like why she didn't bother to tell us that baby loons were precocial, and why the loon didn't evolve to allow itself to walk on land.
Seriously though, the class was mediocre, but overall a good review. The rest of the day was spent exploring the park, eating lunch, visiting with friends, and watching a baby moose. That combination is a win win every time!
