LAKE COUNTY – The seventh and eighth grade students of Konocti Christian Academy recently spent a morning at the Rodman Slough Preserve learning about Lake County’s wildlife.
Brad Barnwell guided the tour and showed the students many species of birds and animals which included deer, skunk, squirrels, garter snake, lizards, bittern, osprey, turkeys, sparrows, grebes, herons, killdeer, quail, acorn woodpeckers, red-tailed hawks and red-winged blackbirds.
Barnwell instructed the students on how to use binoculars, which gave them an up-close view of many species. It was such a pleasure to step away from the busyness and experience the sights, sounds and smells of the outdoors without the interrupts of the electronic world. Lake County Land Trust’s Rodman Slough Preserve gives free tours each Saturday morning at 8 a.m., located at the Rodman House at West Lake Road and the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff.
Konocti Christian Academy is located in Lakeport. Visit them online at www.konoctichristianacademy.org/.
