U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Park Ranger Aleigha Alexander and student intern Alyssa Moss presented a program on nocturnal animals Wednesday morning to fourth- and sixth-grade students at Sacred Heart Catholic School. The students learned about such nocturnal animals as opossums, red foxes, coyotes, barred owls and brown bats. The park rangers are from Wappapello Lake.
