Museum of Life and Science Blog Details Animal Encounters and Nesting Activities
The Museum of Life and Science blog reports on recent animal observations at its facility. Ring-tailed lemurs were provided with edible redbud flowers by the Animal Care Team, which the primates consumed. A tree swallow was seen investigating a nest box in the wetlands, potentially claiming it for the season as it has done in previous years. Additionally, a chickadee nest was discovered in a hole on the exterior of the museum's main building, with a bird observed entering and exiting. The blog notes these are seasonal occurrences and outcomes will be monitored.
