Bird Walk

A while ago Riley had heard about this free bird tour/walk. We decided since Rhylan loves birds and Gracin loves to be outside, it would be a perfect family outing. We had our own personal tour fuide take us around the park/reserve and help us find and identify many birds. They gave us all binoculars to borrow and gave Rhylan a bingo sheet with the pictures of the birds to mark off as we found them. She took this very seriously. We were also able to see some birds they had rescued. Rhylan has asked many times to go back.


Here she is asking our guide which bird we just saw so she can mark it off. She was so funny, she asked a ton of questions. She even said "we live by the desert and sometimes we see quail!"
Trying to figure out what bird is next.
This was my favorite part. Rhylan had taken a few steps ahead of us and stopped, turned to us and said shhhh! then tip-toed a few steps and looked through her binoculars. She had found about 20 ducks and geese.
