Linda Curtis, Attendee at a Discover Owls presentation to the Manitoba Naturalists Society.
“One highlight so far was the visit from Rusty the Owl and Jim Duncan on January 13th. Jim showed us a video of exploring different owl nests with babies in them which was a huge hit. His humor was amazing too with lots of laughs and ‘ewwwww’s!’ He let the girls hold different specimens of owl feet, heads, and look at what the poop even looks like.”

“I just wanted to thank you again on behalf of the grade 1 and 2 classes. The kids were so excited before, during and after your talk. They came back in the afternoon and shared the new information they learned from you.
So thank you for making a lasting impression on our students. Who knows, one might become a biologist one day because of your visit! Take care and all the best in your continued work of studying the lives of owls and educating the rest of us.”
