Today we took advantage of Frank's working from home to go to the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. We have only been there once a long time ago.
The kids and I enjoyed the classroom. There is a variety of hands on activities and stuffed birds to look at. One lady talked to the kids about why birds preen. We were able to borrow two pairs of binoculars.
The Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve is a very pretty place, but there is virtually no shade so it would be best to visit in the cooler months. We saw lots and lots of birds including; Gambel's Quail, Greater Roadrunner, American Coot, Canadian Geese, lots and lots of ducks, and many other birds I didn't recognize. Almost everyone we passed had some serious equipment for birding.
We had a good time walking the trails, seeing the birds, being out in nature, and discussing what we saw.
