Last weekend in Charleston, Uncle Isaac took us to the Center for Birds of Prey, where he volunteers. (In fact, he was recently named Volunteer of the Year -- go, Isaac!) We arrived in time to see the bird flying demonstration, which was really cool. The giant owl you see in the first photos swooped right over our heads. 
We thought that James would really like the Center, because he's very into birds right now, and he and Matthew both like owls (at least, their stuffed owl and owls in books). And they did enjoy the first few minutes of the presentation, and then they decided that the exploring the ampitheater steps would be more interesting. :) Fortunately, we were over in our own section so I don't think the little ones were too disruptive for the rest of the group. We also got to see the baby owls (about two weeks old) being fed, and one of the bigger birds having his lunch (which turns out to be a littler bird -- frozen chicks ordered from a supplier). Feeding time at the Bird Center is not for the squeamish!
It was a neat place! We didn't see everything, because it was getting toward lunchtime, but we had a great time. Thanks again, Uncle Isaac!
