Nature Center

Kids had fun digging in the dirt and pond scum at the Spring Break Open House at the new nature center near our neighborhood. Some of what we saw: shrimp, dragonfly nymph, minnows, red eared slider turtle, bluebirds, rabbit scat, deer tracks, worms, coyote tracks, squirrel tracks, dog tracks, fire ants, and blackberry flowers.

Doing crafts at the booths at the entrance of the nature center.


Crow track. Note the three forward-pointing toes and the hole for the backward pointing claw.


Deer track


The guide recognized us from when he used to work at the gardens where we take our nature walks.
