Friday I was invited to tag along with Braeden's class to the Mary Vagle Museum and Nature Center. It's amazing that right in the middle of a large city you can find wildlife like this!
Kevin rode on the bus with Braeden and his class, while Dana, Kelsea, and I followed.
This nature center is awesome! There are so many animals to see, and things to learn about their habitats. There is a huge pond just outside the doors of the museum. There were ducks, fish, tadpoles, and turtles living in it.Kevin rode on the bus with Braeden and his class, while Dana, Kelsea, and I followed.
At first I thought this was a turkey...No! It's a duck that originally came from China. They are domesticated there and used as pets. 
This Mallard was taking a little snooze. 
These noisy guys, actually there were 4 girls and one boy, were making sure the kids stayed off the grass. 
How do I know this? Because I learned that the males have a waddle, and the females do not. See, this is a perfect shot of both a male and a female.
This ground squirrel was after the seeds the birds dropped.
As we were walking into the museum, I spotted this lizard climbing up the side of the building.
And lastly, two of my favorite things were abundant here.
Wildflowers and ladybugs!
Thanks for the invite, I had a great time!
