Morning Nature Walk with Daegan
Daegan and I headed out for a short morning nature walk before his drama class last Saturday. We saw more signs of spring, including magpies building a nest:
Daegan found a patch of ice that reminded him of a map of Europe (France and Spain, UK up above across the ‘channel’):
He learned a bit of local history of the park (Edworthy park):
And we saw and heard an unusual woodpecker. We’re still not sure what it is, after consulting all our field guides. My best guess is either a black-backed or three-toed woodpecker. Any birders out there that can enlighten us?:
It was a nice way to start the day, and I believe it helped Daegan focus in his drama class. The teacher said he had an excellent class, and was helping other kids with the story of Alice in Wonderland, the bit of play they will be performing. Daegan is very excited about playing the Caterpillar!
