Nature From The Pastel Cabin

The camping trip was quite successful. We had campfires, went hiking, and did this adventure course tower activity that involved a rock climbing wall, ropes crisscrossed with a rope net at the top to climb up, and some other climbing courses. In all it was a lot of fun. On the hike we went to see a hollowed out tree that a turkey vulture had laid her eggs in. There were some feathers and two pretty blueish eggs with brown speckling on the ends. Very cool. We also saw a lot of these red birds with black wings that were about the size of finches. We couldn't figure out what species they were so I just looked up the description and I'm pretty sure they were Scarlet Tanagers. One more bit of nature we found was a luna moth sitting on the railing of the camp's main cabin area. It was fairly interesting to get to see, even though it didn't move at all for most of the day it was a very pretty little creature. Anyway, the trip was great and we had many animal sightings. Also, I stayed in a cabin that was painted a pleasant yellow on the inside, while some other girls in our troop were in a cabin that had an interior of light pink with a dark peptobismol pink trim which was a bit overwhelming.
