What We Learned at the Audubon Center
We went to the Claire D. McIntosh Wildlife refuge center today and met up with my sister and nephews. This was quite a hike for us and we hoped it would be worth it.
We had a lovely day watching birds, observing nature and learning about local birds, fauna, animals, and fish in the education center.
Some of our highlights include:

The kids had so much fun playing with all of the animal toys |

The older boys had fun putting a puzzle together |
We decided it was a harbor seal when it was done |
We saw blue lobsters in the tide pool |
Hermit crabs too |
They had a replica of a whale with part of it's side cut out so we could see how big it's heart is |
A cardinal stopped by |
We checked out some AMAZING artwork of local fauna and flora |
