Over the last couple days, Laura had a program at the Rocky River Nature Center. This is one of my most favorite places...we go there enough the naturalist knows not only who we are, but our names too. Back to Laura - part of her program was counting how many animals (tiny to large) they saw over the 2 days.....final count 125.
Imagine that, in an urban/suburban setting - we have such a blessing that my city kids can see over 100 animals. Now I'm not saying 100 different species because they saw 3 salamander which counted as 3 animals but just the fact that in the small area of trails around the nature center they counted 125 animals. While Laura was in her program, Rose & I took some walks together too. We came across green frogs, tadpoles (almost to the frog stage), dragonflies, red-winged blackbirds, a woodpecker and a huge hawk flew overhead chasing a smaller bird.
This is why as much as I might complain - I truly love this area we live in. I would miss being able to see the diverse wildlife we have living around our cityscape.
