The Beaver Pond


What a fabulous morning in the rain today!!!  With rubber boots  and raincoats on the kinders had a great time walking in the rain. Here are some pictures of the wondrous things we saw along the way.



Do you know what this is?
An Inkpot mushroom. Skunks and squirrels like to munch on these!


A worm on a rainy day.



"The plants are sucking the water from my hand. I'm helping them." 


We learnt the word 'canopy' today.  We all stopped the listen to the rain falling on top of the tree.  
We called it nature's music.  It was beautiful. 


Another neat mushroom that reminded us of a stingray.


We had a friend come say hi. We discovered that this is a  mommy Mallard Duck.  She is brown in colour so she can camouflage in the marshes and protect her ducklings. We also took notice to her webbed feet. 



Can you see the Blue Heron in the photo?






It's hard to see, but there was a beaver (possibly a muskrat) swimming and splashing in the water!




Our gang!! Thank you to all the moms and dads who could join us today.  We look forward to next time!!
