va raptors

artemis is taking a homeschool high school biology class this year. i really like that there are labs involved and access to things i would not be able to easily provide at home.

i also like that well-behaved family members were invited to sit in on a presentation by gabby from the raptor conservancy of virginia. i enjoyed myself thoroughly learning about these captivating creatures.
