Part of the fun of volunteering at the nature center is that you get to go to areas the public is not allowed, like close to the feeder! (although not to close, they still are wild bisons!LOL)

This is from the public bison platform:

And this is from the other side....

After a long day of volunteer training we left the nature center and were treated with 4 deer. The picture is not great, but what can you do photographing from a driving car and fast running deer!!

Another day of volunteer training at the nature center..... and we went pond dipping! Fun to see what crawls around under the water instead of flying over it!

Then later on I also discoverd some monarch caterpillars... beautiful! It really starts to feel like spring!
