I went on a two mile walk around Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge to prepare for a walk I'm leading. I couldn't find my camera (until after I got home), so I was able to enjoy the walk listening to the sounds and viewing the birds with my binoculars. Luckily my sister and Joe were there to help me identify the birds.Today, I woke up way too early but got some stuff prepared for the field trip. I made a dozen different photo tic-tac-toe games using photos of birds and plants I spotted yesterday at the refuge. It took way longer than I had planned. Sure hope the kids enjoy using them as a scavenger hunt.
I am tired of seeing Canada Goose everywhere but seeing a pair of geese with their goslings, fuzzy yellow and brown, waddling on the path, was priceless! We also saw a pair of Mute Swans with their cygnets. I really hope they are still around when the kids go on the walk.
These were my favorite birds from yesterday (not counting the babies).

Watching bird/fowl families are always a sweet experience. The way they go on with their bird business is adorable. Enjoy the trip.
This looks like it will be a fun field trip!
I love birds.That yellow bird in the picture is so cute.
P.S I made a new post.

The yellow warbler is loud for a bird that's only two inches long. We had to be quiet and look carefully to find them. I hope we see them on our trip.
