Now you see ’em…
In the summer of 2021 I took my then 5 year old grandson Jaxon to the Salmonier Nature Park. He was so excited to show me all the animals because he knew every one. We got out of the car and proceeded to the trail when he says. "Nan, I know the first animal we are going to see is the snowy owl!" Now about three weeks before this the snowy owl passed away so the enclosure was empty. Jaxon saw the sign and asked me what it said. I told him the snowy owl passed away and he is not in the park anymore. Jaxon just shrugged his shoulders said, "Oh!" and skipped down the trail to the next enclosure commenting on the animal inside. We made our way up to the hawk's enclosure where we could not see the hawk anywhere. Jaxon looks around and said, "Nan, he must have passed out too!"
