Very early this morning, before I went to school my dad and I went to Second Marsh Willife Area. At first we saw a Brown Creeper creeping up some trees the old Brown Creeper fashioned way. They do this by flying to the base of one tree and creeping circularly up it and repeating this over and over. Then I started hearing Wood Ducks flying, all of a sudden some Canada Geese flew over and then the Black-capped Chickadees were interested with the cereal I was carrying. So I feed them it and...THEY LOVED IT!!! Infact they loved it so much that they followed me to the van!
Then it happend, we saw beautiful Wood Ducks courting. My dad told me that they were courting. There was chasing and flaping and all this excitment. There was so much noise that it scared the Red-winged Blackbirds into the trees. The chickadees were still there. But soon it would be time for school so we started heading back. On the way back my dad and I saw the Brown Creeper again and a few VERY NOISY Common Grackles. I think they were males. Of course, the Black-capped Chickadees were still begging for food and my dad was getting anxious to get me to school, but we found out we still had some time. And then...
THE CHICKADEE HURT ME wa! wa! wa! no I didn't cry but it HURT!
My dad and I had a good time there and I wasn't late for school...... And now a joke!
Between you and me (not Leah Holmes) she loves the smell of SKUNKS!!!

Good for you getting up so early. I have been looking hard for wood ducks! I have tried to take a picture of a Brown Creeper but it is so hard the way they go round and round and up in the Brown Creeper fashioned way.
