(Photo by: A. Yurkovic)Probably the field trip I was most looking forward to was the canoe trip. It’s been a long time since I went canoeing and I was anxious to see the wildlife on the waters, but things didn’t work out the way I wanted. I must have had something bad to eat the night before and was too sick to head out on the waters. It was very upsetting but even from the dock area I was able to see some of the wonderful wildlife. Most notably was the bird nest set up on a pre-made nesting post high above the water. The birds, which I can’t remember the name, popped their head up periodically to see what all the commotion was. It was pretty cool to see that they had nested on the nesting pole, and were thriving on it.
Along with the birds, the water and trees also were great. The mangroves near the shoreline house man of the rivers wildlife area. Over the docks I was able to look into the water. There, oyster shells were piled up and did exactly was they were supposed to, provide a habitat for animals. Fish were eating on the smaller creatures in the piles and crabs tried to get their claws on food as well. I obviously wished to see much more on the trip out on the water, but had to make due from what I could see on the docks.
