Justin and I arranged a Scout Day at the
Deerflat National Wildlife Refuge. They cater specifically to the scouts and help them achieve badges related to conservation. This Refuge was amazing and so beautiful!
The afternoon began with a short movie about all the Idahoan animals.
Our unit focused on birds. Here, the instructor is teaching the kids about nests and nesting materials. She had several different nests that she passed around for the kids to see...very cool!
While the scouts made their very own bird feeders...
Max dug for bones,
Put together some bird puzzles, and explored the many stations for little kiddos. He loved it!
We then went exploring outside in search of birds and their nests.
Max buddied up with Christina Lind whom he adores. (She was a previous nursery leader)
I was amazed at how many different nests we were able to see.
This is a protection wall, so the visitors won't frighten the birds. You go into the little house (below) to observe the birds in their natural undisturbed habitat.
Once inside, you open these little window placed all around the roundhouse and observe. All the boys thought it was ingenious!
Another great day in Idaho!
