I love living by the foothills! There is so much more wildlife here than where I grew up only 15 minutes away. Brush Rabbits, woodpeckers, hawks, lizards, and more are seen daily. It makes it very easy to do Nature Study when nature comes right to you!
This furry cutie visits us morning and evening for his favorite clover leaves. I love seeing the kids rush to get their field guides in order to identify our different visitors.
The same pair of Mourning Doves come back every spring around May to rebuild their nest, lay their eggs and raise their young. We have had 2 different broods hatch this season.
Ok, I'll be honest. This Painted Lady butterfly didn't show up on it's own. We hatched and raised them. I love this picture though. How cool that the butterflies were willing to land on the children's hands.
