Observations: Day 5 (BIRD WATCHING)

 When we went outside it was so nice. The weather was in the mid-70's. We went out bird watching. We are participating in the Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology Backyard birds count. We counted a total of 21 bird in LCHS's Backyard. These two pictures are birds that we found. The top one is called a Warbler. The bottom one is a picture of a Downey Woodpecker. My favorite is the Downey Woodpecker because it has a red moahawk and I have red hair so it is my kind of bird!!! :)

 As we ventured down a path we ran into a tree, that was covered in moss and fungi on the lower part of the trunk.
At the same site as the tree we, I, lifted a log and we found this little creature. Ashley Harris picked it up and named it Sam, as she says. It was a very slimey creature ant it was a very fast runner. Ashleys emotions were excited.
THIS IS THE BEST PIC OF ALL!!!
