Today we went on a birding hike and saw lots of birds! It was awesome.
Summer's View
Our last day in Minneapolis, we went to morning guided bird hike at Richardson Nature Center. The guide was impressed with Sam’s birding list of birds he has seen this year, and told him all about his list, as well. We managed to spot 5 new birds for Sam’s list!
After the bird hike, a park naturalist presented a bird show with two of the resident raptors at the park. She spoke about and showed off the barred owl and the red-tailed hawk. We got to watch the red-tailed hawk eat – dead baby chicks – ugh! A little gross, but interesting as well. The birds were beautiful. An interesting fact about the great eyesight of the hawk – IF she could read, she would be able to read a newspaper if she were located at one end of a football field and the paper was at the other end. How cool!
