Only one frog was spotted, but the littles had a good time pretending to fish.

We also spotted the site of someone's feathery lunch.

Today in class, the kids were very interested in this tent caterpillar web we found. Looks a little creepy, but they don't really harm the tree and make good food for the birds. https://extension.umd.edu/resource/eastern-tent-caterpillars-and-forest-tent-caterpillars-trees/

We had so much fun learning about trees in Little Sprouts class last week. Hope you can make it this week for frogs!

This frog walk sounds neat.

Hoppy Leap Day! Did you know that wood frogs can leap up to 6 ft in distance? That's a big jump for a little frog that are 1.5 to 3 inches! They are also one of the earliest frogs you can hear calling. Join Ranger Yessenia tomorrow 3/1 for a frog walk for a chance to hear the soft clucking of the wood frog! Meet under the pavilion at 5:15 for a kid's activity or at 6 pm for the frog walk! Free!

If you have a child who would love a worm themed or other quirky birthday party, let Sparrows and Sprouts help! I can assist with party planning ideas and/or activities to keep kiddos engaged and having fun. I specialize in nature education, but I also love planning custom themed parties and activities, especially for your kids' niche interests. At a loss for how to host a "flightless birds" party or an "Olivia meets Pete Seger" party (that was my son's 4th birthday request), I got you! Feel free to message me or fill out an inquiry here and I'll get back to you with some ideas! https://forms.gle/VMmiuhoscHZkUqHM8
