I love to go on hikes all the time with my aunt and cousin. Activities we perform on the hike include bird watching, exploring the woods, and looking for fish in the creek. I also like to catch and release fish with my Grand Pop. I also love to listen to bird calls and identify the local birds using the Merlin app on my mom's phone. I got my grandmother who lives states away to use the app and research the birds in her backyard.
