Party for Wildlife

In mid-December we attended a Party for Wildlife at Brukner Nature Center. Everyone that attended brought donations for the animals. We brought various types of food items, such as seeds and vegetables.

We visited with some animals and learned more about them. The nature center is also a rehabilitation center, so the animals they have are ones that were rescued.

The girls learned about an owl, opossum, snake, and a very large and long-lived toad, which they got to touch.

Olivia calls any owl "Hoot" after watching the movie.

The girls each made a treat for the birds to take home.

Georgia is, too.

Then they put it in a bag of seeds and shook it.

We also explored the nature center and visited with other animals downstairs.

Olivia can look up and see the turtles from underneath.

This is one of her favorite spots at this nature center.

We also visited the animals outside.

We started to take a hike but the rain came and we headed home instead.
