... it's about all the other stuff we can see and do on the trail too.

Like watching the frogs in the pond at the Androscoggin River trail head in Topsham.

Or trying to identify birds on the Eastern Prom (L. believes she heard an American Goldfinch and a Song Sparrow during our picnic).

If you're unfamiliar with the Identiflyer, it really is pretty cool even though it's a bit pricey. The Indentiflyer cards have pictures and songs for 10 birds on each one. And on the back of each card is the human-word translation of the bird songs. L. shares her impression of the Barn Owl, "Who cooks for you, who cooks for you all" in this most recent video.

The kids have had a lot of fun this week and riding their bikes.
