Bird Watching


For their last field trip of the year, Mason's preschool class went to the Nature Center in Farmington. It is basically a place that over 200 species of birds stop at during their migration. The kids had a lot of fun learning about the different birds and what they eat. They also got to pretend they were birds and "migrate" from Mexico to Farmington and then on to Canada. I love how they didn't have a care in the world and just flapped those arms as hard as they could . . . it was pretty cute! After leaning about the habitat and migration, they each got some binoculars and went for a walk around the nature center to scout out all the different birds. I think they all had a lot of fun but were definitely tuckered out from all that walking in the heat!

I love the photo with all the kids and their binoculars! So cute and so much fun. I love the end-of-the-year field trips! Were you a chaperone?
