Migration Poem

No more flowers,
On the trees,
Said a buzzing,
Bunch of bees...

No green grass,
On which to feast,
Said a wild wildebeest...

It’s too cold,
To flit and fly,
Said a monarch butterfly...

What should we do?
How can we live?
When environments,
Cease to give…
Conditions change,
What's on our plate,
It’s time to move,
We must migrate!
Migration’s moving,
Swim, run, fly,
From a place,
Too cold or dry,
To a place,
Where food is found,
Migration’s moving,
To new ground!

 

The observations of young naturalists

March 29th 2014 The Alberta Ramblers headed back to the Wagner Natural Area to finish off working on their Naturalist and Observers badges. Here is what they found.

We did a squirrel video, a deer bed video, a rabbit video, a porcupine video. We went for a nice hike, we saw lots nice tracks and we finished our naturalist and observers badge. It was Awesome!
