This Morning's Walk to School

We girls had a splendid nature walk on the way to school this morning. We heard the usual song birds in both the neighborhood and around the creek that runs behind the school. While looking down at the creek, we found a mother and father goose with their goslings. Those babies are hard to find in the tall grass, but Evelyn counted four of them waddling around. As we got closer to the school, a snapping turtle was right next to the sidewalk. Its shell was about a foot in diameter, so it wasn't too big, but we still kept our distance. You never know what kind of wildlife you'll see on the walk to and from school.
