I was
always inclined to attend a Topeka Audubon Field Trip, but was always a
little apprehensive. I woke up at about 7 am and thought, "I
should go on the field trip at Felker" I rolled out of bed,
jumped into some clothes, grabbed my binoculars and was off to
Felker. I wondered, would it be boring? Well once we got into
Felker, we started seeing birds. First it was just robins, but as we
went further we saw more unusual birds. First we see a Lincoln's
sparrow then we hear and see white throated sparrows. There were
birds flitting around all around us. Then we see a mockingbird and
catch the glimpse of a towhee. There are yellow-rumped warblers
everywhere. Then we locate sedge wrens, and watch them hide and show
themselves. The yellow crowned warblers do the same thing. I
saw my first LeContes sparrow of my life. When it was time to go, I
wanted to stay. We were at the park for three hours, but it seemed like
only an hour...It was that much fun.
Also, Everyone was so helpful to us non-experts. I want to go
on another Topeka Audubon Field trip. What a fun group of
people.
