July 7, 2013

I spent the day at the South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center doing a program for children and adults about dragonflies and damselflies. We then went out into the field so everyone could try their hand at catching some! We then brought some back to the SoFo Nature Center to examine and identify them. Great fun was had by all!

 Happy Oding To All!
