What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreFrom Ivan. “I love the peaceful sounds! Like when the wind blows and the trees move. I love when the birds sing and chatter. I like feeling the breeze come off the rivers and lakes. I love catching the fish and letting them go. I also love to chase squirrels and rabbits when I see them! I love to collect things from nature!”
I love the American Red Robin. I love the unique ways they sing and the way they look. I love how pretty their eggs are and that they have a color named after their eggs; Robin’s Egg Blue. When we lived in Pennsylvania, we would always see them on our walks. They’re also very protective of their babies and eggs. They mainly eat worms, bugs, and fruit. But they usually dont eat seeds.
I love to collect shiny rocks, gems, shells, flowers, leaves, acorns, and pine cones! I have a rock tumbler at home, that we will use to clean up the rocks so I can keep them. I like to put the shells in my vase so everyone can see my collection. I give the flowers to my mom and sister. I love collecting things from nature so much, that my grandma brought home giant pine cones from North Carolina, just to give them to me. My great grandma always finds me new rocks and gems for my collection!
