Today, we wen't to a bird banding! We learned useful stuff, saw how they remove the birds from their nets, saw the banding itself, and even got to release a few! But one of the most exiting things of all, We saw our first Stick Insect! None of us had ever seen one before! And apparently they"re so common there now one of the people there said 'it's the season for them'. Mind Blown!!🤯!!
