How good it is to find snakes again.  They must be on their last outings.  We have found two ther last two days at our Hartje Nature Center--small Garter Snakes.  I have not seen any others besides the Garters and Water Snakes.
One of the kids was noticing a small bug the other day and asked what it was--there are soooo many bugs/insects.  I was happy that I could identify it as a tree cricket--he was also happy to have it identified as that.
While eating lunch one of the children noticed a hummingbird sitting in a tree!  These kids are so naturally curious about nature.  It is still a struggle to have them be able to spend more time outdoors rather than so much in their desks.
Last week we spent a little time in and around the Wisconsin River--the kids loved being in it.
