Tonight my bird class was scheduled to meet at Springbrook Nature Center if the weather was nice and in the classroom if it wasn't nice. I went to Springbrook. I think our class must have had divided opinions on the weather because only half of us showed up there. Without a teacher, we walked around. We saw robins, red winged blackbirds, snowy egrets, blue winged teal, Canadian geese, grackles, black capped chickadees, hairy woodpeckers, downy woodpeckers, and a yellow rumped warbler. One of my fellow students works at the nature center and she took us behind the scenes, where regular visitors should not go, to show us a fox den. From our vantage point 20 feet away, the fox den looked like a big hole in the ground; not much to see. One of the naturalists has a hole cut into the side of a garage so he can film the fox. Even without seeing a fox or kits, I enjoyed seeing the den. The geese at Springbrook are tame and swim right up to you begging for food. The three deer we saw weren't a bit afraid either.
