Here's the cover of the scrapbook Alex made while we were there.

the guide said this was the last Golden Orb Weaver they've been seeing...I was surprised to see 3 baby spiders in this photo when I looked at it on the computer!
They had a lady there who was working on tagging hummingbirds. She had a cage on 2 feeders. Unfortunately, a male kept chasing them all away. So, she put up the mist net, but he just sat on top of it!

The lady did end up catching 2 sparrows, though. I was surprised at how calm they were!

We had a brief lesson on how to use binoculars and then went on a bird walk. We saw quite a few birds. And, a few of us saw a hawk carrying something BIG... we think it was a squirrel!
Wow - what a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an absolutely wonderful day! I love your nature adventures.
ReplyDeleteI love the spider pic. Now I know I've seen an orb spider before, but dag if I can remember when. That was a great shot to look at up close.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing nature center. I'm glad you guys got the opportunity.
