What a beautiful snowy, winter day we had for our meeting today. We haven't had much snow this winter, so it was nice to finally see some of the white fluffy flakes!Today we made some fire starters. We each made one for the LCNC and one to take home. We'll get to use one of these next month when we learn about winter survival!


After reviewing how to identify winter tracks, we headed outside to see if we could identify any animal tracks in the snow. We saw dog tracks, squirrel tracks and bird tracks.
On our hike we saw a muskrat feeding at the creek! Not the best photo, but you can see a furry animal! After our hike we stopped at the feeders to feed the chickadees.



And as usual, we took our monthly pond photo, which can be viewed here.
