DBG Finches






Today at Desert Botanical Garden Seedlings, we studied finches. We didn't really see any finches when we went birdwatching, but we saw cardinals and lots of other birds, especially the obese quail that follow everyone around for food. Since we had lots of bird seed out in the kids play area today, there were probably about 100 quail out there just having a hayday. In the "lab", we looked at various types of bird nests, did experiments with floating vs sinking, and matched the magnetic birds with their eggs. We had a bird snack and made a little bird craft, too.

The garden paths are lined with poinsettias and luminarias for the season, plus we saw a huge Christmas tree made of poinsettias. Perfect 75 degree weather.
