It's baby season at Hartley! These Canadian goslings will leave the nest 24 hours after hatching, following their parents. They can swim right away and will get their flying feathers in less than two months. #HartleyOEC
Hartley staff spotted baby #2 this week! Fawns will spend most of their time bedded down, making it harder for predators to find them. Mothers will leave the fawns for many hours as their scent glands develop but are often no further than 100 yards away. #HartleyOEC
Students from Chesaning Middle School dissected owl pellets as part of a special program. They used a bone chart to ID what they found, most of which were from mice. #HartleyOEC
