Learning About the Outdoors

Hi kids, and everyone!
If you are thinking about learning about the outdoors, this would be a good place to start.  I will help you learn how to identify a few trees by their leaves and learn about a couple animals.

Trees

This leaf is from a White Oak tree.  Do you know what its seed is called?  I know you know the name of the seed but maybe you don't know it comes from this tree.  The seed is called an acorn!

This leaf is from a Hickory Tree.  Its seed is called a Hickory Nut.

This leaf is from a tree called the Sugar Maple.

Animals

 
 This is an Eastern Gray Squirrel.  And one of its favorite foods is acorns!  The Eastern Gray Squirrel makes its home up in the trees by making nests and it also lives inside trees where trees are hollow.

This is a picture of a Whitetail Deer.  This is a buck, or a boy deer.  See the things coming out of the buck head?  Those are called antlers.   The does, or, girl deer, don't have antlers like bucks do.  Does don't have antlers at all.  Whitetail Deer love to eat grass and all kinds of plants, even acorns!
