Today we kicked off our summer field trip series with a trip out to the local state park. We’ve been to this park many times, but it occurred to me that we could probably call and ask for a naturalist to give us a presentation. Lo and behold—they would!
Chad did a great presentation with snakes and turtles where the kids got to touch each one. Then outside to watch him feed the cougar. As a special bonus, since we came first thing in the morning, it was time to bring all the birds outside. So one by one, he brought out each bird for the kids to see.
An excellent start to the summer, and many more exciting field trips to come!
