This week for our outdoor hour we ventured out of our neighborhood to check out the trail at the Poudre Learning Center. It was a cloudy, gray day, but the temperature was perfect for walking around outside and enjoying nature.
The trail is awesome as it leads you along through grassy areas, past a prairie dog town, next to a couple different ponds, as well as the Poudre River.
We saw all kinds of wonderful flora and fauna. We will definitely have to come back for more exploring another time. It will be fun to see the changes too as the seasons progress through the year.

| We saw lots of these bird tracks in the mud along the trail...and lots of birds too! Geese, seagulls, blue herons, hawks and meadowlarks. |
 |
| The girls were comparing hand size to bird track size. |
 |
| Hannah found an old milkweed plant along the trail. Ever since we discovered milkweed last year, she is so excited about it. |
 |
| Ellie found a super tall dried plant. |
 |
| We saw new, green life popping up all over the place. Can't wait till everything is green again! |

 |
| Don't mess with these guys! |
 |
| Of course, who can turn down a good stump for sitting and climbing on? |
 |
| Seagulls circling over the pond. Seems weird to see seagulls in Colorado... |
