The wilds of Green valley

I majored in Zoology and it seems that I am still majoring in animals as you will see by the following posts.

We four adventured into Rockville Park and headed toward Sunset Cave.  After climbing in and around that enjoyable site, we made it up Cascade Trail and on to the lake at the top.  Here Hunter, Caden, and Haydn are selecting Rush reeds for raft building, the small kind.

 It appeared that each of these water fowl had lost a partner or parent so this is now a famiy grouping: farm goose, Canada goose, and two young Mallards.

Love this beautiful Great Egret.  How lucky we are to have wilderness so very close.

Grandson, Hunter, is trying to live up to his name. He loves to watch survival shows and wants to bag wild animals. He brought several traps to my back yard because I was tending him and his brother, Haydn, and cousin, Caden. They all are in on the adventure. Many hours have been spent setting them up in JUST the right places, with food and even hiding them with leaves, etc. Hunter and some friends also made several noose traps. He checked these daily. His friends even droped by to check up on them.

One afternoon when the boys were up a the Bennions, I called Holly and told her that we had a cat trapped. She said this out loud and I heard Howard wildly laughing in the background. Hunter had been hopping for a racoon. Since I did not know how to undo the trap, Holly came and did so.
