Congaree

Congaree National Park was awesome. I started with canoeing first along the swamp wetland area. We saw a barn owl, black vulture and various turtles along the way.
Thanks to our wonderful teachers, Dr. CK and Dr. Wierda we had a wonderful lunch provided to us. After that, I went in the gift shop and spoke to one of the rangers that I met last time I was at Congaree about birding on the trails. My group ventured off into the wild in hopes of learning on the boardwalk trails. We learned about various plants and trees. We saw a white and black warbler and a Carolina wren. We saw two birds that were hard to identify including a woodpecker and a small perching bird. With that said, I had a great time talking to my friend "Hoot" the owl. I learned in my previous wildlife and management class how to call birds. I had the owl calling back and forth to me but was unable to spot the animal. Still, it was a great experience. I was so tired when I got home that I crashed the second my head hit that pillow. Today is going to be along day of work.

Yours truly,
Brittany
