5/3/12 - School of the Wild - Skeeters

Pretty nice day for the Skeeters - got pretty hot by the end of the day!

Meredith found a male and female goldfinch - Iowa's state bird!  If you grow some sunflowers in your backyard, you will have a riot of goldfinch to view in the fall! 

The trails have been pretty damp this week, so we have seen a lot of snails and this juicy slug!

Someone help me with the name of this guy!

A peaeeful visitor to the spillway!

Not so peaceful visitors to the spillway.  We got out of there just as they were arriving.

Balancing nicely on a log.

Lunch time!
