Walk at Five Rivers, May 18 2024

On May 18 an enthusiastic group met at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center in Delmar to explore a few trails with interesting flowers and plants, trees, beaver workings, frogs, a turtle, many birds, ponds and a meandering stream. We practiced bird and plant ID using phone apps Merlin Bird ID and iNaturalist. The outing began with a very tolerant frog posed at the pond and finding a lucky 4-leaf clover! The cool day kept the biting bugs away. Indoor exhibits were most interesting, especially the visible beehive buzzing with bees entering from the outdoors and the resident owl. A nesting robin was our picnic area companion. We even problem solved some tech issues related to hearing assistance.
