This week at Audubon, kids learned how it is to be the bird we all know the sound of, especially in the early hours of the morning: the chickadee, or one of the stealthiest creatures many of us have only seen the tracks of: a coyote. Students turned into both in order to understand the diets, habitats, and environment that help these animals survive in forests we have also familiarized with.

Neither tiny paws and claws (upper) and coyote camp (lower) hesitate with mud at Beaver Pond. Our camps joined forces to discover, explore, and create!
Our coyote campers are discovering a coyote skull and what makes it different from other predators. We also made a stop at the Huntington River to cool off!
Exploring? Cooling off? Both? Having fun at Audubon for sure!
Learning the difference between running, hopping, and bounding, animal tracks. Getting to pretend that we move like animals too. Can you hop like a rabbit? Or waddle like a bear?
Looking closely is our favorite thing to do.
At lookout rock! A rewarding hike.
Scavenger hunts - what do birds make nests from?
The early stages of a master bird nest builder.
These guys look ready for snack time! Good thing we packed our trail bags.
Showing off our coyote masks.
Playing a scavenger hunt game for birds! A camper taught us this one, so we were excited to add a new game to the camp week.
Birdy birdy cross my sky!
We remind ourselves coyotes don't shy away from the water either
