Eagle Bluff - Day 2


The Wolves began their day bright and early at 6:30am with some morning yoga.  We then headed off to breakfast where a few friends helped the kitchen staff with clean up.

Kitchen party
Our hearty breakfast helped us power up for a morning of rock climbing and archery.

Almost there!

Watch out for that one!
Students spent the afternoon learning about bio-indicators, collecting organisms at the pond, and studying their samples in the lab.  This class will serve as a great pre-cursor to biological assessments that we will do at the creek when we get back.  

What'd you catch?
Classifying organisms
Getting a closer look
In the evening, students had the opportunity to see several raptors including an owl and a hawk.

Demonstrating raptor adaptations (all in the name of science, of course)
Wait a second, you're not a raptor - you're a turkey vulture!

We ended our evening with a night hike and some hot chocolate along the way.  Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds!
