Kids and Families brave cold and snow to see what's up (and down and all around)!

Ten brave kids and families joined Laramie Audubon Society on the Greenbelt Saturday, April 6, despite snow and bitter cold. We get it, we are all ready for spring! Conditions were not perfect for seeing migratory birds, but the group had a great time observing crows building nests, a camouflaged bunny, deer tracks, a chickadee and a gull with our eyes, and red-winged blackbirds and robins with our ears! Discussion included birds we have seen and heard in our own backyards, migrating waterfowl and shorebirds seen on the Greenbelt, at LaBonte Park, and out on the Plains Lakes, as well as recent and upcoming family road trips for the birds- sandhill cranes and northern cardinals, respectively. Everyone got to take home their choice of bird glider, too! Please come see us at the Laramie River Conservation District Expo on May 4 and join us in warmer weather for our next Kids and Families event- our first scavenger hunt of the summer at LaPrele Park on Saturday, May 25 at 9am!
