I'm amazed at the animals we encounter being in the city! There is a park near us that has water, and it attracts many birds. One day we were there we saw 5 different kinds of birds, 2 of which I had never seen. I didn't have my camera that day. Derek also finds crawdad claws in the water.
There is a bunch of baby ducks at the park right now. The kids love to see them.
We saw a couple goslings there one day, but have not seen them since, but then one day we saw a couple geese and when we went near we found this nest with a goose egg in it.
The daddy goose was not too happy with us being near. He didn't try to attack but he sure kept a close eye on us.
There is also opportunities to observe nature in our own front yard. Derek found a hummingbird nest. Darrell brought the branch down to look closer and there were 2 eggs. Darrell said as soon as he brought down the brush the mama hummingbird started flying close around his head.
There is also another nest in our tree. It is a mama dove sitting on her nest. It is hard to see in this picture because I don't have a good enough zoom on my camera. You can see her head in the middle of the picture about 1/3 of the way down.
