Last Friday, we welcomed a new addition to the bison herd at the Center! Mom and Baby are doing well and Mom is very protective of her new calf. Thanks to Bruce Morrison, Morrison's Studio, for our first picture of Mom and Baby! If you missed attending Wings and Wetlands on May 8th, here is a photo of the swans that were released at Waterman Prairie that day. They should remain there until late fall when they acquire their flight feathers and migrate for the winter.
Although it was wet and cold out, it was a wonderful experience touching the swans (they are very soft) and seeing them swim off to their new home for the summer! Our next event at the Center will be held Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. This will be a stone tool making session - otherwise known as Flintknapping. Flintknapping is the making of flaked or chipped stone tools. This technology was used to make spear and dart points, arrow heads, knives, scrapers, etc. Pat Hashman, an expert in this field, will be on hand to demonstrate his extensive stone tool making skills. The session will be held rain or shine. Learn a new skill or practice your hobby!
