We learned that Wednesdays and Saturdays are also "Take a Kid Fishing Day". So, we went fishing. They have a bunch of poles and worms, and trained Game and Fish people to take the fish off the hook for you. It's 'catch and release' fishing. The little fishing pond is stocked with smaller fish.
This was the first non-robin spotted bird. Jonathan said it was a purple something.
This is neither a bird or a fish, but a gigantic, vicious, most likely deadly poisonous snake. The kids kept insisting it was just a garden snake.
It slithered into a little hole under the sidewalk. I wonder if there were more snakes under there???
The man helping Megan is the former head of Parks and Rec in ND.
Eric caught the first fish. It was a large mouth bass.
Eric also caught the 2nd fish, a blue gill sunny.
The kids decided they had done enough fishing, so we continued on our bird walk. We spotted several red winged black birds. A lot of the path was pretty mushy from all the rain we've had the past few days, so we didn't venture out too far.
