Las Aventuras: wolf

Ahhhh-Oooooo!

On an overcast day, Baby J sat in his stroller listening to the strange "Ahhhh-ooooohs" being made in the distance. He made his own "ahhh-oooh!" and our hearts melted.

I took a break from the chases. No more for now. It was time to hang out with the family. So we headed to one of my favorite and yearly stops at Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. It's great for kids. It's also a rehabilitation center for the critters. And it's also a fantastic wildlife sanctuary. So Baby J got to go on his first birding adventure.

At the Wildlife Sanctuary, they sell corn for the ducks and Baby J got to feed the hundreds of ducks.

The baby J's hang out together

But he didn't get to see just ducks. There were geese and turkeys and all kinds of critters.

Wild Turkey

I watched his face as the ducks piled up around him. It was absolutely fun!

This is a great place for kids to experience wildlife up close. Well maybe not too close to those Canada Geese:)

Northern Cardinal

It just so happened that we hit the day at the right time because it wasn't too cold and there weren't a lot of people walking around the park.

While at the sanctuary, he made duck sounds and wolf sounds, tried petting a Canada Goose....um.....yeah no.

American Black Duck

He got to go down his first tree house slide, play in a turtle shell and throw milk on his uncle. Stinker.

The day went by too quickly and soon our adventures in Wisconsin would be over. We had a fun last day together.

And the real reason why I don't have kids? My family has contributed quite a few people to this planet. Currently with a world population of 7 billion, quite a few of us will need to NOT have kids:) So it's nice being the Uncle with all the nephews and nieces. I'm just hoping that some of them will get the travel bug and maybe become a future birder?

It's was nice to hang out with the family during the holidays, but it's back to the Arizona trails next week. And the weather here is VERY nice:) Until next time.....
