Hike at Mendon Ponds Park



















Today we visited one of the great places of the Rochester area... Bird Song Trail at Mendon Ponds Park.

We saw a couple of deer and everybody had at least one bird eat out of their hand. Several kids had birds land 8-12 times.

We were on the trail for about an hour and a half, and it was a great day with 17 elementary kids and 4 HS guides. There were several times when - with these 21 students spread out over 50 feet - we were able to communicate with them using just the faintest whisper.



All of todays photos are available here.
