Redpolls in Our Garden!
This week there have been so many redpolls at our garden I can't even count all of them! The redpolls have been scarfing all of our bird seed down faster then we can fill our bird feeders. We can't stop looking at the red polls and sometimes Miss Jessie has a hard time getting our attention!

The Fascinating Trip
We went on a field trip on 3/7/13 to a conifer dominated forest at Greg Streveler’s house. We went to collect data for our year long study. There was some fascinating things we saw like squirrel middens and flying squirrel scat. The scat was on a dead tree. If you have seen flying squirrel sign you are lucky because flying squirrel sign is really rare. Also Greg could identify that the scat was flying squirrel because of its shape. After that we walked a little and saw highbush cranberry skins from a grosbeak. We only saw 15 piles of moose scat on this trip. We saw less moose scat because there wasn’t a lot of food for them. Have you ever seen a flying squirrel or seen its droppings?
