Today is Friday and it’s the class field trip to NW Trek. The excitement for this day has reached peak levels. The kids just want to get going!
I enjoyed driving Isabel, 2 of her classmates and Teacher Mrs. A, even if the day was a soggy wet one.
Before the walking self-guided tour we went on the guided tram ride and saw…
Bison with 4 babies (1 baby was less then a week old!)
Black-tailed Deer
Mountain Goat
Roosevelt Elk
Woodland Caribou
Trumpeter Swans
Canadian Geese
Ducks
We missed seeing…
Bighorn Sheep and the
Moose
With the downpour, I was only able to get a picture of the grizzly bears and they were fighting.
They were in a foul mood with the rainy cold weather.
All the other animals were hiding in their dens or taking shelter wherever they could get out of the rain.
We saw…
Grizzly Bear
Gray Wolf
Lynx
Bobcat
Badger
Beaver
Fisher
Porcupine
Raccoon
River Otter
Striped Skunk
Wolverine
Bald Eagle
Golden Eagle
Pacific Giant Salamander
Gopher Snake
Western Toad
Rubber Boa
We missed seeing…
Red Fox
Coyote
Cougar
Barn Owl
Snowy Owl
Turkey Vulture
We took a break in our tour and the girls worked on their assignment for the day.
This trip was all about habitats and the animals that live in them.
Assignment (part of) that was completed while walking through NW Trek.
My group of girls with Mr. Mishy and his brother Bo.
We’re soggy and wet but we had fun and hopefully learned a few things about the animals we saw.
