Scouts, Parents Explore Nature's Secrets
It was a fine
adventure we had when the boys from Den 8
and their parents came on January 25th for
a Friends of Rose Canyon nature walk in Rose
Canyon Open Space Park. We watched an aerial
battle between two Red-tailed Hawks and two
attacking ravens, the ravens croaking and
one of the hawks striking back. I asked the
boys whose side they were on, and they all
yelled "the hawks, the
hawks." The boys loved finding
tracks and especially scat as a way to figure
out what animals had been there. "Here's
some more scat," they kept calling
out. They learned about bobcats and coyotes,
sycamores and coast live oaks, all the things
that eat gophers, why iceplant is bad, and
where Rose Creek goes. One of the parents
told me afterwards: "We could have
come here by ourselves, but we wouldn't
have known anything about what is here." Everyone
got to take home postcards of the plants
and animals of Rose Canyon. All in
all, a day of great fun in the canyon. -
