Program-Teen Forest Lab: Owl Pellet Shadowboxes

Teen Forest Lab: Owl Pellet Shadowboxes

Become an ornithologist for a day in a hands-on teen workshop led by a Fernbank educator. Participants will dissect real owl pellets to uncover tiny bones and learn how scientists use these clues to study what owls eat and their place in the food web. Teens will get up close with basic skeletal anatomy, learn how to identify prey species, and explore the important role owls play in ecosystems. Then, they will then use the found bones to make a creative shadowbox display. 

• This 2-hour workshop will take place at Fernbank Museum.
