wingspan.

Posted on March 28, 2017 by ksbeth

at the nature center for grandie v’s 6th birthday celebration

the scientist helps us to measure our wingspans

before we take a stroll outside to find this beautiful bird

rescued and healing a broken wing

whose wingspan we hope will return one day

and we are grateful to have our wings.

“happiness makes up for height for what it lacks in length.”

That’s a measurement activity with meaning. I love the Robert Frost quote.

Someday, those kids will spread their wings and fly away, just like the eagle. You’ve given them another great experience.

Isn’t finger to finger wingspan supposed to be the same as your height or did I make that up?

This was a beautiful bald eagle, so sorry it hot injured.
When I went to the Mansfield Bird Sanctuary, a bald eagle had been hit by a truck and the truckdriver wrapped it up and took it there. They have a veterinarian surgeon who donates her time. They weren’t sure if this eagle would ever be “free” but they hoped so. I hope the Michigan eagle will fly freely one day. 🙂
