CCNC at Science Fest!
We had a blast at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science teaching visitors all about Mississippi’s state bird, the northern mockingbird!
Guests learned about the unique architecture of mockingbird nests, which feature a distinct two-layer design: a sturdy outer framework of coarse twigs, and a soft, protective inner bed neatly lined with fine roots, grass, and moss.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to build a nest with us!
