Thursday, October 29th

The sun was shining for our beautiful farm time again today!  Mr. Bill Dancer quickly figured out that we have a budding ornithologists among us and asked Leo to lead half of the birding group.  It was just AWESOME!  Leo was able to display his expertise in pointing out many different bird species and identifying their calls.  My favourite comments from today:

"I wish I knew a lot about something" (in reference to Leo's knowledge about birds)

"I have never even heard that word before" (in reference to a junco)

"I didn't even know that chickadees were a real thing"

"Hey Everyone!  Look at that potat....oh, it is only a rock"

Thank you Leo!!!

Elmarie also took a group around the farm to teach them some of the basics. 

We also had a UVic teacher candidate, Mr. Cox, join us today to get a sense of what this is all about.  Needless to say, he was in awe of what a special opportunity this is and doesn't think that one day is enough.
