Colton loves saving all insects in our house to live in the garden he planted! He's planned birding for Mom's Day at 4yrs old: heart melts.
Thank you for generously supporting Colton in this year’s competition. Your participation helps empower the National Wildlife Federation in their mission to protect wildlife, restore habitats, and inspire the next generation of conservationists.
What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreHe loves teaching friends to be kind to nature. "Tip-toe around leaf-hoppers, don't move too fast when you see a bird, "boop" a leaf on a tree but never pull on it" are all things he's told friends at daycare
Colton's favorite animal changes weekly, depending upon where he is exploring. His favorite animal is anything that suprises him (grasshoppers, Northern Cardinals, Blue Herons, leaf hoppers, and flowering Lilac shrubs have been his recent favorites). He cannot pick a consistent favorite, which is amazing; he's always on the lookout for something new.
Colton loves to go birding! I only recently got into birding because of his interest, and my coworkers meet up with us regularly. He has learned to identify common bird calls before he has learned the alphabet!
