The Old Oak Tree - by #NatureDetective Erin

There was an old oak tree, Which still had long to survive, It was home to Goldfinches and Dunnocks, And other birds that thrive. I looked upon it one day, And saw how the branches grew in its own way, I saw a Collared Dove perched on one, So I looked at the tree every day. Then one bright afternoon, When the Robin was singing on the hut, I heard clashing, banging and sawing, The old oak tree was getting cut! The poor wildlife that live there! I got the woodcutter's attention with a hop. Then I told them what I've seen in the tree, And eventually they stopped. There was an old oak tree, Which still had long to survive, It was home to Goldfinches and Dunnocks, And other birds that thrive.

Day 7 saw us venturing out for another walk with the dog, looking for signs of wildlife and using our Ladybird iDial. Unfortunately we didn’t find any ladybirds but we did learn quite a bit about ladybirds.

Nature Detectives!

We got batty with the Garden Club of St. Augustine last week, when they came to our library to share their knowledge about bats!

We read, Stellaluna by Janell Cannon.

After, we all got our very own detective notebooks, so we could keep a log of our environmental findings. We made bats and got to pot our own plants!

Nature Detectives: Lizards

It was all about lizards at the amazing Nature Detectives Workshop put together by the Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants and the Garden Club of St. Augustine.

Kids were given composition notebooks and other handy tools to become real nature detectives in their backyards. Meanwhile, they learned about two Florida lizards--the green lizard and the brown lizard, both of which are seen frequently in this area.

They finished up with a silly game to reinforce their new lizard knowledge. They were broken up into groups and had to work together to identify which lizard was being talked about.

Thank you again to the wonderful ladies who put together this program for us--it was awesome! Miss Alex
