Sticking to our unintentional outdoorsy/nature theme this weekend, Andrew and I got up super early this morning to head out for a guided bird walk through the Riperian Preserve in Gilbert. There were a couple of other kids from a Boy Scout group on the tour so it was fun, even though Andrew didn't make it for the entire walk. We saw a whole bunch of cool, colorful birds. Our guide, Kathe, was extremely knowledgeable and spent much of the tour talking about about how the preserves work, where the animals come from and how its ecosystem survives in its urban setting. All in all, we saw about 30 different species of birds on the walk. However, note to self: next time bring binoculars!
