Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I found this amazing book at the library:

Arrowhawk by Lola M. Schaefer

It is based on the true story of a hawk that was struck with an arrow, rescued, treated, and released back into the wild. The pictures, by illustrator Gabi Swiatkowska, are simply beautiful!! And, there is a picture and story of the real hawk at the end of the book.

After reading Lissa's blog about hawks here, I wondered if she might already have this book!

Thanks for the tip, Erica! We love learning about hawks and other birds of prey. (My 6yo especially loves turkey vultures, if you can believe it! )

A fun thing to do with the kids is Adopt-a-Raptor from the Vermont Institute of Natural Science .
