Happy Earth Day!

We celebrated Earth Day at the Audubon Society of Portland today.
Julio (the great horned owl), Ryan, and Mr. Entertainment.

Ryan was so excited to be hiking and not relegated to that backpack, but I can't count how many times I whisper yelled, "Ryan, get back here! Hold hands, Hold hands!!" (you aren't supposed to be too loud near the bird rehab center)

Ryan becoming a tree hugger.

Kyle pointing out a woodpecker hole in the tree, he later asked, "Can we put Ryan in here?"

Julio is a great horned owl that Ryan and Kyle loved. She (it is a female) was beautiful.

Quoth the raven, "Hey kid, get closer... cloooser." And then SNAP, the raven pecked at the cage. Kyle nearly jumped out of his hikers. I laughed inside, thinking "Didn't I just tell him to step away from the cage?"

Ryan's Earth Day shirt - I do wonder how he will change the world. What does an intense lack of fear and an intense love of Elmo and biking lead one to do for the world?
