Yesterday we had our first field trip of the 2018 MERO program! This year we have 13 participants, plus a student coordinator who participated in the 2017 program. Check out the photos below of the group exploring the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve!
 Learning how to use the binoculars while observing a great egret (Ardea alba) on Searsville Lake at Jasper Ridge.  Turkeys can fly!!!  Posing for a photo after finishing a biodiversity scavenger hunt.  Just when we were leaving a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) came by looking for its fish dinner. The first time any of us had seen a bald eagle at Jasper Ridge!

I love these photos. Especially the first one. I wonder if these students had ever looked up so closely at this wildlife. Thanks so much for posting them.

I am glad that you liked the photos! The kids had so much fun looking at all the different animals and learning to use the binoculars. It was so much fun to see them enjoying nature and Tyler and I are so excited to get to go with them to Jasper Ridge again in a week. Leave a Reply. |
