Today I got up early in the morning and woke my dad up. Unfortunately, my little brother woke up also and my mom was not very happy about that. So, my dad got Jesse back to sleep and we got ready to go to Lynde's Conservation Area. As we got ready I smelt a skunk! And I disliked it. It was almost as bad as the smell of rice chips. And I really DON"T LIKE THE SMELL OF RICE CHIPS!!! Guess what... MY MOM JUST BROUGHT RICE CHIPS INTO THE ROOM and I"M not KIDDING.
Anyway, when we finally got there it was much better than smelling skunks and RICE CHIPS. Yes, I said that to you mom. OK but the birds there were amazing. For example the Bufflehead and the Mute Swan. Well, the Mute Swan is colorful but extremely aggressive. That reminded me of the time a Mute Swan almost wrecked my shoe. But, surprisingly the Mute Swan I saw there was not so aggressive at all.
Once we walked into the forest part of the conservation area the chickadees were begging us for the cereal I was carrying. So, once again I fed them and they followed me everywhere, even into the Blue Jay territory (chickadees are often scared of Blue Jays). After the chickadees left us alone we went to the marsh nearby. There, we saw many Red-winged Blackbirds, Mallards, Buffleheads, Mute Swans and Canada Geese. Oh, we also saw some Common Grackles in the forest.
We saw many other birds but if I listed them all it would take forever.
Thanks dad for taking me there, it was fun! lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll For some reason I can't get my pictures on this post, but I will post something right after this one called Lynde's Conservation Area #2 ( pictures) Hopefully it will work>

If you have any questions about birds leave them in the comments, I will be sure to answer any of them. I have been posting on blogger since Friday, April 6, 2007.
