Texas Nature Challenge-Sims Bayou Urban Nature Center

We completed our second nature challenge yesterday at the Houston Audubon Society's Sims Bayou Urban Nature Center. It was a scorcher!

First, we learned all about homing pigeons and their history. We found one with a secret message using this compass,

 and we created our own.

Eaden is still playing with her and her sister's pigeons. She loves the secret message that was taped to the leg.

We learned about Chimney Swifts.

We learned about Sims Bayou,

the largest freshwater fish in Texas (Alligator Gar),

and the largest land mammal in North America.

Fun challenge!
