[ORyoungbirder] One week of 6th Graders at Suttle Lake :)

[David Schas]

Hey Birders,
   
  I spent last week up in Jefferson County at the Suttle Lake Methodist Camp. I was the lead High School Wildlife Counsilor for the Crook County Middle School Outdoor Camp. Each day we took different groups of kids on a walk around the lake in the morning, then took into Lake Creek for some Bug and animal Identification. The kids walking around the lake got some great views of birds such as Male Western Tanagers and Hermit Warblers. It went great and when I had free time, I did some birding of my own. 
  Here is my entire list for the week:
