Not too far from our house is a cool place called Heron Haven. Which according to the website is a "spring-fed wetland sanctuary" with a butterfly garden and a nature path. This past Saturday they had a festival with face painting, live animal demonstrations and a scavenger hunt.
Lizard takes after her mother and thinks spiders are pretty neat...no she is not brainwashed.
I think the face painter did a great job.
Lizard is sad because she learned that one of the hawks being presented was shot by a hunter. We were able to see up close two owls and three hawks/raptors that could not survive in the wild because of injuries. Lizard loved seeing the birds and the presentation was very informative.
Lizard making a suet feeder. You smear peanut butter onto a pine cone and then roll it in sunflower seeds. We put it on a shepherds hook in the middle of our lawn and after seeing a woodpecker and one other bird eat off it, a squirrel managed to steal it. Bummer!
Fun experience!
