From Mike Horn....

"The winners of the New Haven Bird Club's New Haven Science Fair 2009 Letis Memorial Prize were Destiny Vazquez, Yasmin Quintanilla and Glorimar Rodriguez from the sixth grade at Columbus School in New Haven. I met them and their teacher Stephanie White-Hart this morning - Wed 5/13/09 - at Sterling Hall, Yale. The project was the dissection of Owl Pellets. They endeavored to learn as much as they could about owls and the food they eat and the habitat they live in. The 3 students and their teacher were eager to speak with me about birds in general and owls in particular. They all seemed eager to participate in NHBC activities.

The $200.00 prize is being split - $100.01 for the teacher to use for classroom science supplies and $33.33 each for the 3 sixth graders who did the project. The teacher and the 3 young ladies will also get a 1 year membership in the NHBC."
