Marion Natural History Museum5 viewsMany thanks to soil scientist Maggie Payne for her fun and fascinating program about composting with worms. We had a close up look at Red Wiggler worms and they definitely lived up to their name by jumping about during the program. We had a chance to inspect them using magnifying glasses and microscopes trying to determine which end was which. We then created a habitat for them with shredded paper and leftover vegetables. Each student had a chance to bring their worm farm home.

We also heard the different calls of the frogs from the Wood Frog’s “quack” to the Green Frog’s banjo “twang.” To register for frog watch training you may contact the Roger Williams Park and Zoo. Thank you to Maggie for her terrific program. Please view our upcoming programs at www.marionmuseum.org. Photo courtesy Elizabeth Liedhold.

Marion Natural History Museum9 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum wishes to thank board member and President of the Nasketucket Bird Club Justin Barrett for his presentation on the birds of Panama. The birds were beautifully colored and with beaks well designed for eating fruit, their primary food source. Along with the magnificent bird specimens we also saw several monkeys and other exotic animals from Justin’s trip. The museum wishes to thank Justin for sharing his amazing birding adventure with us on a dark and dreary winter morning.
