We go to the library every week. Hannah picks out some fiction books (although since watching and reading the Guardians of Gahool, she has been reading some factual books about owls), Josiah usually selects books about animals, and I pick up books and DVDs that I ordered online that go along with our studies.
Today was a bit unusual at the library. There was an opposum at the library.

| Opposum |
Then, would you believe? . . . an owl!

| "Look Out, behind you!" (Don't worry, it's just a cut-out) |
 |
| Barred Owl |
And last, but not least . . . a . . . ssssssssnake!

All courtesy of the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Some things we learned are:
- It is not proper to call an opposum a "possum". That is something totally different.
- The barred owl likes to eat things out of the water and will wade into the water.
- The only venomous (do not say poisonous) snake found in Georgia is the copperhead.
