They even managed to snatch a few seeds from Claire's hand, and she's only 20 months old! It's a wonderful way to give the kids opportunities to interact with nature.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868782039165615029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598483400715522172.post-16070446769702294442011-10-22T21:38:48.445-04:002011-10-22T21:38:48.445-04:00Last winter we were overjoyed when were could go o...Last winter we were overjoyed when were could go out onto our back deck and feed the chickadees from our hands.

We discovered that trail (on the other side of the road from the P9 parking lot we usually use) just a few weeks ago, and we liked it too though I think the walk is shorter. I didn't know it was possible to visit the bird centre, I think Maya would love it, so it definitely goes on our list of things to do.Mariannehttp://www.teach-able-moments.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598483400715522172.post-20567415215501192702011-10-22T19:23:39.337-04:002011-10-22T19:23:39.337-04:00Have you ever stopped at the Bird Sanctuary that i...Have you ever stopped at the Bird Sanctuary that is right at the start of the trail? It's the cabin that is there - it's open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Visitors can go in (I think between 1pm and 3pm) and just have a look around. It's not a big place but they are always chock full of birds and it's fascinating.Lynnhttp://diaryofaturtlehead.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
