Lovely Sunday

Ahhh..the weather is beautiful outside! On top of that we managed to get all the chores done yesterday! So off we went to the Indian Kill this afternoon for a hike. Maddie took her camera and got some good shots too! Brian also explained to Maddie how to stop and take a heading with the compass so she would have some of that under her belt before Forestry Camp next month. We spotted skunk cabbage, coltsfoot, a large plot of Japanese Knot Weed (an invasive plant), nuthatches and chipmunks. Maddie and Brian thought they spotted a kingfisher but I happened to be taking a photo of the coltsfoot and missed it!
