Get a hoot out of celebrating raptor month

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Get an up-close look and interact with owls, hawks and falcons at the Birds of Prey wildlife show at Skyline Regional Park from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, at 2600 N. Watson Road.

This free presentation by Wild at Heart, an Arizona-based raptor rescue organization, will provide details on all the diverse birds of prey.

Led by a team of professional biologists, this educational and family-friendly event also features up close interactions with owls, hawks and falcons, plus a chance to speak to the bird handlers, watch a bird release and enjoy kid’s activity stations.

Guests are encouraged to bring water and chairs, and wear sunscreen.

The event is free, but preregistration is encouraged at buckeyeaz.gov/rec. Due to the popularity of Skyline Park this time of year, carpooling is also encouraged.

For information on all the programs at Skyline Regional Park, please visit skylineregionalpark.com.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

EVEN EXCHANGE

by Donna Pettman

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

SCRAMBLERS

Unscramble the letters within each rectangle to form four ordinary words. Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!
