Ecology Center Newsletter May 2011

           

            Exciting news for the ecology center!  We have been approved to work with a rescue operation to place eastern box turtles.    We had to be granted approval from the Fish and Boating Commission to house these turtles.  Due to loss of habitat, and being removed from the wild as pets, the eastern box turtle is not allowed to be sold or removed from an area that it is found.  The turtles that we will receive will have microchips so that they can be identified.   Working with this rescue group also will provide a resource for water turtles as well.

 

The first duckling hatched on Friday, April 22nd.   It is the only one that will hatch from the first clutch of eggs.  The other eggs fell out of the nest.  Mrs. Rizzio was able to get some great shots of the ecology center!

 

 

A total of 25 ducklings hatched in the ecology center from 3 different mallard families.  At the time of this letter we have 17 ducklings.  Mrs. Rizzio’s class has also been cleaning up the ecology center by weeding!  They have been doing a fantastic job.  Our box turtles are out and about enjoying the warm weather and their “food” pile.   Shelly is roaming free and can usually be found on the patio by the library doors.  Nibbles is enjoying the porch, but when the weather gets too warm, she will have to come back inside.

 

Since Mother’s Day is upon us, here are some interesting sites about animal mothers!
